I wrote my first Greasemonkey script today, and it happens to be an automatic Twitter Refresher. The script will refresh Twitter every n seconds (10 seconds by default), unless you have placed any input in the input field, in which case it will not refresh.

I haven’t tested this in Greasemetal (Google Chrome) or Greasekit (Safari) yet, but it uses very simple and standard javascript DOM to work, so I’m pretty sure it will work fine in other userscript environments.

Pretty simple, but its something I really wanted so I figured I would share in case anyone else needs a tool like this. Also available through userscripts.org.

Let me know if you can think of any other sites this would be useful for.
