Find Out Which “Friends” Are Dropping You On Facebook
So for today I bring you another in my greasemonkey script addicition that allows you to monitor which of your "friends" on Facebook are dropping you off their follows.
When the script detects that someone you used to be friends with is no longer one of your friends, a message will appear informing you about who it was and giving a link to their profile page.
The script checks by default once per hour when on Facebook, but this time can be increased through "Tools > Greasemonkey > User script commands... > Set time interval to check for removed friends...".
How it works is when someone unfollows you on Facebook you will be notified and then the script will then have yourself unfollow them as well. Then you can go back and follow them again. They can never get away!!!
[Note] I have not actually seen the script in action since as far as I know no one has unfollowed me yet

Use Your Keyboard To Navigate Through Facebook
If you have followed me for sometime you know how much I like finding Greasemonkey scripts that improve a service or add some kool features (or take something away even). So today I found out about a new script that allows you to use letters on your keyboard to jump to different parts of Facebook.
Once you have the script installed you can jump to your photos, events, account, notes, ect ect with the push of a button. Here is a list of the 16 per setup options.
A – Edit application settings
B – Go to list of birthdays
C – Go to photos
D – Find friends
E – Go to your list of events
F – View the list of all your friends
G – Go to groups
H – Go to your home page
I – Go to the message Inbox
L – Go to your links page
M – Send a message
N – Go to your notes
P – Go to your profile page
S – Edit your account settings
T – Go to Notifications page
V – Edit your privacy settings
And if you want to add others it is pretty easy to configure the scipt to your needs. ReadRightWeb had a post on this same script and showed how easy it was to add your own options.
So there you have it another script to help you through this Facebook world...no its nothing earth shattering but for us geeks its a fun little tweak to play around with and hey maybe you are new to all this Greasemonkey stuff and have some questions? Feel free to hit me up sometime and I can help you get started with it all.

FriendFeed Twitter Tweaker [Script]
Tweak the way Twitter entries are displayed on FriendFeed
1) For Twitter entries, appends the username of the Twitter user after the "N minutes ago from Twitter" message in the entry metadata
2) Helps you track Twitter users not on FriendFeed:
- Create a feed (formerly known as a Room) that includes the text 'twitter-friends' anywhere in the name (e.g. "kshep-twitter-friends")
- Add the Twitter feed from each user you'd like to track. You can add as many users as you'd like.
- When an entry appears in this feed, the name of the feed will be replaced by the username of the Twitter user who created each entry.
So there ya go. Hope you find the scripts useful and if you come across anymore for FriendFeed or any kool greasemonkey scripts you wanna share please feel free as I am always on the lookout for more.

Add Real Time Twitter Results To Your Google Search
Found A nice little greasemonkey script that will also add some twitter search results to your google search results. If you decide you want to dig deeper when it comes to the twitter results just click on the twitter results link and it will take you right to twitter search with more tweets that contain your search criteria. Pretty Kool!
Monkeying Around With FriendFeed
Last week I wrote a post about using greasemonkey to enhance twitter and thought hey why not do the same for FriendFeed since I do that same there as well.
Below is a list of scripts I use to add extra funtionality to FriendFeed through greasemonkey. So do you have any scripts you use? Would love to hear about them and share with other readers.
Endless Scrolling
Endless scrolling for friendfeed user pages. If you scroll down on a friendfeed page and the page includes these page 1 2 3... links, this script will automaticaly load the content of these pages and appends it to the site. jQuery supported.
FriendFeed Profile
Adds a profile section on FF user pages. Retrieves Twitter and LinkedIn info if available. Allows customization of which fields to display by editing the script and setting the variables. Supports multiple of same service (ie. two twitter accounts).

4) Likes (Light Pink)
So there ya go. Hope you find something to help enhance your FriendFeeding...see you in the streams!
Monkeying Around With Twitter
During the day when at work I find myself jumping on the web version of twitter to see who has replied to me, what DM's I have or even just checking out my friend stream.
Recently I added a few greasemonkey scripts that allow me to add or enhance the functionality of the web site and thought I would share with you some of my favorites.
Show # of unread replies + adds mentions
A simple script that displays the number of unread @replies and adds a Mentions tab in the Twitter sidebar.
Enhance Twitter
Enhance twitter.com by adding a search box (with search suggestions) to search tweets or current events/happenings right from your twitter home page.
Nested Twitter Replies
Adds nested replies to every Twitter conversation thread.
Endless Tweets
Loads pages endlessly when scrolling on the Twitter timeline. Other features: remembers last read tweet, embedded location map, more dynamic interface, tab-completion of friend names and live updates with Growl notifications.
Userscripts.org is a great site to find scripts like these and many others that you can use to enhance to customize services all over the interwebz so check it out.
Script Adds A Mentions Tab On Twitter
My fellow friendfeeder Hao Chen has created a sweet script for those using greasemonkey that does two things on your twitter page:
one - it adds how many unread @replies messages you have.
two - addes a @mentions tab that when you click on it you get to see any twitter messages that include your username and not just the one's that start out with @<username> like in the @replies.
I must say its a nice little script to have to enhance the twitter website.

Your FriendFeed Savior
Are you tired of seeing post after post about Governor Palin? Don’t have an iPhone, don’t want an iPhone, and don’t want to read about iPhones? You’re in luck, FriendFeed Savior is here to save you from all the drivel on the web that you just don’t care about. And just in case your curiosity gets the best of you, there’s a handy link to show you what you missed. And yes, it works on Friendfeed Real-Time as well.
Bjorn Stromberg is the creator of the greasemonkey script FriendFeed Savior and he also has instruction on how to edit the keywords in the script.
I know this will be a script that many in the FriendFeed community will find useful to block certain keywords. Enjoy!

FriendFeed Treats – Part II
Well another day and another batch of greasemonkey scripts get released for FriendFeed and they are some good ones. Internet Duct Tape keeps bringing the goods!
This time we have the following :
FriendFeed Pagerization - script that lets you “infinitely scroll” FriendFeed.
Increase Entries Per Page - FriendFeed show you 30 entries now...how about 50 or 100?
Reshare Any Link - lets you share a link from Friend Feed with ANY other social bookmarking site.
Even More Expander - FriendFeed uses "More" for links so you dont have to much "noise" on your page. with this script it brings the "noise" and displays everything.
All of these are great scripts that I have running now and they add some great funtionality and enjoyment of FriendFeed. Love it!
Just a final note please feel free to check out my friendfeed page and subscribe to all my posts.
A Few FriendFeed Treats Out There
It seems like the buzz the last week or so has been FriendFeed, FriendFeed, and a little more FriendFeed or atleast in the social media/web circle.
I think a few things have pretty much thrown the fuel on the fire and created a towering inferno like the release of the API which is gonna bring us all kinds of apps (web based, desktop based, and mobile based - fingers crossed), the integration with twitter has been a huge step, and I think some greasemonkey scripts out there now are adding to the functionality and usefulness of FriendFeed. Below are a few that I am using and am aware of....if you have any others please please feel free to leave a comment and let us know.
Greasemonkey scripts
Filter FriendFeed by Service - This one will put a line of all the friendfeed services icons at the top of your page allowing you to click on one of the icons and filter your view with just all posts by you or your friends to that service.
FriendFeed Twitter Client - FriendFeed already lets you reply to twitter messages and have them added back to twitter but with this script it actually lets you originate a twitter post from right on your page. Very handy and kool of course Oh I almost forgot it also gives you your character count so you can stay under 140 easily and it automatically checks the "reply on twitter?" box
Remove Visited Links - Already seen a link? Dont want to see it again on FriendFeed? Enough stuff to look through as it is? Well this script basically takes a link you already looked at and makes it disappear for ya. Pretty handy when you have a lot to go thru daily.
A Few Non Script Goodies
Comments WordPress Plugin - Get some comments on a blog post you put up on FriendFeed? Love to have them show up with your normal blog comments? Well this is a plugin for you. It will put those comments added via FriendFeed back on your blog! Brilliant!
FriendFeed Stats - This little site will tell you which day yourself or any user for that matter posts to FriendFeed the most or you can find out what day you post the most flickr pics, del.icio.us links, blog posts, ect. Overall just a place for us interested in numbers and stats to get our fix
FriendFeed Grid - This little site randomly throws up FriendFeed users pics in a grid and allows you to go to their FriendFeed page...it also shows the 20 most subscribed to (shocker Robert Scoble is #1 ) as well as 10 most commenting. So overall just a fun little site to discover others using FriendFeed.
Well that is a little look at some scripts, plugins and other stuff you can grab to help you enhance your FriendFeed experience and if you have any other services that have popped up recently please feel free to leave a comment with a link to them for everyone to check out.
catch me on the interwebs:
