Tweaking Twitter
On 2009/03/15
The basic Twitter home page is spartan. I added two Firefox Greasemonkey userscripts to improve the page. I like the “improved” page much better. What do you think?
Troys Twitter Script adds the following features:
- Nested Replics
- @Mentions
- Custom Search Tags
- Status – Autocomplete
- Status – Auto Link Compressor
- Auto Pagination
- RT button
- Media Embed
- URL Expansion
- Hash Tag Search Links
- Social links provided by Twellow ( http://twellow.com )
Twitter Display Popular Trends does exactly what its name implies. It adds a small panel to the right side of the Twitter window with the 10 top trends.
Here is my Twitter page with the two scripts enabled and working –
