Script Summary: Append a Retweet Button to the end of each Twitter entry on FriendFeed

Thumb Thumb Thumb

I ported this from @Ziru's excellent "Twitter Enhancements: Retweet This" script over to FriendFeed, he deserves just about all of the credit for the code that adds the buttons with the right Retweet text. I just changed the logic a bit to work with FF pages.

This feature should have been added by FF natively YESTERDAY, and execute on FF from a comment box (smart enough to know that it shouldn't append any more ff.im reference links asf.) to save the loading of the entire Twitter home page just to prepopulate the status bar with the retweet.

Another benefit of the native solution would be that it would work seamlessly with the real-time updates flying in. Greasemonkey will only handle this on refresh or "pause" right now.

Screen caps show the buttons on Service:Twitter items in a mixed list (Favorites), the resulting Retweet prepopulated in the Twitter status bar, as well as the original look of Ziru's script button on Twitter itself.
