Script Summary: Augment Direct Message functionality on Twitter with an IM-like user-interface.
Updated 2/26 - New features:
- DM client works on most Twitter pages, not just user profile.
- Added checkbox to turn on/off autoload polling.
- Much smarter timing of polling, to try to prevent hitting API limits.
Some Known Issues:
- Basic auth login prompt raised on first load of every browser session.
- Some "unsafe" access of the main Twitter window.
- Subject to normal Twitter API usage limits.
- Status links to DM do not discriminate between followers and non-followers.
- Status links are not added to status messages loaded after window.onload.
- Not localized or internationalized.
- Only tested on Greasemonkey 0.8.20100211.5:
- Firefox 3.6 vs. Windows XP SP3
- Firefox 3.5 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.8
- Code was written really fast-n-jank-like. Mea culpa.
- Spent exactly 11.37 seconds reading jQuery docs... mighta missed some nice shortcuts.
