In this post I will go over some of the best Greasemonkey scripts I have come across for us Twitter junkies.

First off If you don't know what Greasemonkey is, in simple terms it allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.

Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of other popular sites, are also available at http://userscripts.org



Now on to some great Twitter scripts.

Delete All Direct Messages In You Inbox

When you visit your direct messages inbox activate this script and watch it auto delete all of your old direct messages. This is far easier than doing it one by one. NOTE: just make sure you turn it off before you check for new messages.

Block Twitter Spammers From Gmail

Adds a link to all Twitter invites to allow you to block them easily - works in Gmail or Google Apps Mail.

Twitter Blacklist

Displays a banner on twitter profiles which are listed at http://twitterblacklist.com

TwitterIgnore

Someone that you enjoy following at an event that your really not that interested in, or tweeting a lot and taking over your Twitterstream? Don't you wish you could just stop seeing their tweets for a bit without actually unfollowing them? Well with this script you can!

Twitter Auto Update

How many times have you said to yourself "I wish Twitter.com would auto update."? Well now it does with this script! Updates every minute!


Don't forget in order to use these scripts you must have the Greasemonkey Firefox extension installed. I hope you enjoy these. I know I have!
