For Wikipedia

Add Wikidatabase History to Every Wikipedia Page

Wikipedia is great if you make sure not to take anything there on face value. A page's edit history is almost as important as its content and this script adds a drop down box on every page that shows its edit history.

For Videos

Video Embed

It's a time saver and will probably help you actually watch more videos that people are sharing if they are right there on the page for you. It can mess up the layout a little bit to have a video player thrown onto the page, but that's usually ok.

For Twitter

There are a whole lot of cool Greasemonkey scripts out there for Twitter, but here are some of our recent favorites. See the screen shot below to see how they all look together.

Add search to twitter sidebar

Search.twitter.com is really understated in its placement on the Twitter site. This script ads a search box to the sidebar of every Twitter page!

Twitter sidebar replies

It's always nice to get some context whenever looking at a person's Twitter profile page. This script places the most recent public replies they've received on their profile page sidebar.

Nested twitter replies

The lack of nested replies is something that people used to complain a lot about in Twitter. This script inserts them into every page - making previously one-sided conversations immediately comprehensible.

We'd love for you to share links here to your favorite scripts so we can all give them a try.
