Please download the latest version (2.6) of this script to continue saving time when meeting users on Twitter. Compatible with the new Twitter Lists feature.

Summary & Installation:
----------------------------
Quickly review many Twitter user's bio and most recent Tweet at a glance. (see screenshot below)

Runs on your or anyone's following and followers page. Uses AJAX request to read and parse each user's profile page, then displays the bio, web link text, follower and following count, and most recent Tweet next to each user id & photo on your list of followers and friends. A great way to discover & decide on new folks you might want to follow.

No need to provide your Twitter password. The script only runs locally in your Firefox browser. The AJAX request simply pings each user's profile page to extract the information we display.

New to Greasemonkey? Add the GM extension to your FF browser first https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748, then come back to this page and click on the big Install button up top.
