You may have heard of Greasemonkey, the Firefox extension that lets you customize the way a web page displays using small bits of Javascript, but are you using it to its fullest potential? There are hundreds of scripts available for installation from userscripts.org, so it can be difficult to know which ones are must-haves.
We've rounded up our favorite scripts for fans of social media and have provided them for you below, but we're curious which ones you can't live without. Are your favorites included here? Let us know in the comments.
Listed below are links to blogs that reference this entry: Greasemonkey Scripts For the Social Media Addict.

Sarah, amazing list. Found a few very helpful scripts which I haven't heard of before.
May I suggest another one for the GoogleReader section? :)

We make it available both as an XPI, and as a Greasemonkey script. For a quick overview, simply take a look at the video.

Posted by: Corvida | May 2, 2008 7:52 PMOMG - not another post about Digg!
But thanx for the scripts
It appears that Twitter is also having its own cult following like Digg
Posted by: * Miss Universe | May 2, 2008 9:50 PMAt first glance I thought this was going to be all twitter scripts. What a great list. Dugg and Sphunn!
Posted by: Michael D | May 2, 2008 11:16 PMI'll have to try out that TwitterIgnore script. I have a heavy twitter poster.

Posted by: Mac Flash | May 3, 2008 2:24 AMThis is a great list Sarah. I think im going to have to install the Greasemonkey script and have a bit of fun changing sites. I might even do the same thing to see what I can do to the new http://crenk.com design!

I'm glad you include in your list my first (and only) script.
The first you list for del.icio.us is jumped from a few install to 204 :-)
I'm very happy my work will be useful to so many people.
I'm also working on a script to save gmail searches and show also recent ones, who are interested can follow my user on userscripts
