Word Count

Display word count next to textareas. Originally written for the YCombinator application form, but it turns out it works well on most other websites, too.

To use this script, you need the Firefox-Plugin "Greasemonkey", which you can find at http://www.greasespot.net/ or the usual Firefox addons page (Tools->Addons->Get Extensions). Once you have Greasemonkey installed, you can install the "Word Count" script from here (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13291, click on the install button to the right).
