Twitter Greasemonkey Scripts Collection

with 16 comments

ADVERTISEMENTS



I’ve been using Twitter for the past few days and I’m hooked. I searched for some Greasemonkey scripts for twitter and found these. If you don’t have Greasemonkey, download it here.

Twitter

Twitter Add, Follow and Leave links
This script puts ‘add’, ‘follow’ or ‘leave’ links in a twitter user’s page for you to utilise.

Twitter Add, Follow Or Leave Greasemonkey script

Twitter Last Twitter Preview
This script will display your friend’s last twitter when you hover your mouse pointer over his or her image in the twitter sidebar.

Post2Sbm
This script has an UI to help you post your bookmarks to twitter

Twitter Profile Pop up script
This script displays your friend’s profile details when you hover over his/her picture in the Twitter sidebar

Twitter Profile Preview Pop-Up Greasemonkey Script

Twitter Lite Client
This is a little twitter client that functions inside your Firefox browser. Hit Shift + T to bring it up in the bottom corner. Another such Greasemonkey client is here. If this didn’t work for you after installation, go to Tools >> Greasemonkey >> Manage User Scripts >> Twitter_Lite >> Click ‘Add’ under included pages and Type http://* and click ‘OK’ and then use Shift + T to check whether this works.

Know what? This client has many useful and hidden features? Check this comment

Twitter Friend Name Helper
This script will show a list of your friends’ names when you key in ‘@’ or ‘D’

Twitter Friend Helper Greasemonkey Script

Browse with Twitter
Updates your twitter status to ‘Browsing: Document’ whenever you load a webpage :S

Twitter Mod

This script improves the User Interface of Twitter’s Webpages. It’s got a lot of features which beautify and add some functionality. There’s a search feature available when you install this script, which allows you to search for a particular string in twits. Another notable feature is the TinyURL handler, which brings up the original URL when you click on a TinyURL, so that you can decide whether to move to that page or not. In real terms, it’s actually many scripts blended into one.

Twitter with Meebo
If you use both Meebo and Twitter quite often, then this one is for you. This script shows up a twit box on your Meebo page where you could type in your messages. You can also set your Meebo status message and your twit at once, in a single click.

Note: I found some of these scripts not working, but still, you could try them and check whether they work for you. And this post will be updated constantly. Make sure that you’ve bookmarked it!

    Thank you for mention of my script “twitter lite”.

    I have bad and good(?) information.

    Bad:
    it has some problems(bugs).
    The most important one is that it is not available on frame pages. (ex. gmail)
    But I’ll try to fix them.

    Good:
    It has some secret commands.
    “:search keyword” -> search twitter record includes keyword
    “:mode [public|friend]” -> change public timeline or friend timeline.
    “:flickr keyword” -> search for images related keyword in flickr.
    “:amazon keyword” -> search for books related keyword in amazon(Japan).
    “:js script” -> evaluate script.

    If you hit shift-enter in input field, then it changes to multi-line field(textarea), and to hit shift-enter in multi-line field, you can submit it.

    If you double-click in input field, then information of reading page put into input field.

    Awesome, Gotin! :)
    It’s not a lite client, it’s a full featured one, I guess.
    Thanks for letting us know of it’s hidden features! Now, I’ll have to update this post with these features!
    As for the bugs, nothing’s perfect, isn’t it? Anyway, this client is good, atleast you have all these wonderful features.

    Good luck with your job, Gotin :)

    Hey! Thanks for sharing these, but I’m a bit late – I’m a huge twitter user ( http://twitter.com/martindale ) and I’ve put some of these to use! Thanks!

    I have written a greasemonkey script that enhances twitter.com by adding a search box (with search suggestions) to search tweets and basically help you find out what’s happening – right now.

    You can check out the script here – http://vishalshah.org/projects/scripts – and leave feedback here if you like – http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/42389

    Thanks.
