Pimp Twitter With pbtweet
October 26th, 2009 by (jeff)isageek

So earlier today I had written a post about going back to Twitter.com as my default Twitter client with one of the reasons being was the kool greasemonkey scripts out there that allowed you to get extra functionality not available as standard options.

Well after I posted that I had a reply from Mitchell McKenna who pointed me in the direction of a script to use called pbtweet (had been using troynt).  So I decided to check out the site and must say I have been really impressed with it and think it will be my default script for enhancing my twitter experience.

Here is a little video showing some of the highlights (shows an install on a mac but you can use it with greasemonkey as well like I did)

Overall I really like the placement of the RT, via, DM, and translation buttons, the picture integration and throwing a thumbnail on the right of the tweet, the threaded conversation bubbles are pretty sweet, and the pagination as well.

I also have to say the developers have been really great in answering questions I had about an issue with the retweet button and they got right back to me and gave me a fix. Always a plus!

So if you are looking for ways to tweak your twitter experience I would recommend checking out pbtweet.
