Script Summary: Builds a small twiter client for fluid

Version: 2.0

FluidSmallTwitterClient creates a smaller twitter client for a fluid ssb.

It's more like twitter.com re-imagined. It uses ajax to check for new tweets and puts them inline like magic.
It notifies you of unread tweets via growl and a badge. it also highlights the background of unread tweets and when you mouse over it marks it read. there is also a mark all as read in the dock menu.
it has twitpic integration where if you mouse over the twitpic link it will show you the thumbnail.

A lot of the userscripts i downloaded did not work "out of the box" so i had to modify them all.
Then i started making more things onto it.

I have cut and pasted a lot of code from others and fixed it to work, some include YourTwitterClient, TwitterReloaded, and Twitpic Previewer but i had to modify them all but liked a lot of the looks of it.

I only use Fluid so it only works in there (although probably wouldnt take much to port for anything). And i only concentrated on /home because thats all i read

the script checks for new every two minutes but has a schedule in it where between midnight and 6am this duration increases to 2 hours.

also its kind of a mess because of a lot of cut and pasting

and one script that worked perfect out of box for me that i highly suggest is Twitter Enhancements: Retweet This
