Twitter Cull

[kearsley]

After a little bit more poking, I have a script to cull Twitter comments from some journals. That is to say, that I tested it on about a dozen layouts and it works for those. That said, it relies heavily on scraping the page, so doesn't necessarily work on all layouts.

It requires GreaseMonkey or for Opera's User Javascript to be turned on (

While this is a level of modification I'm not up to I don't think, I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your brochure or newsletter.

Why the vendetta against Twitter in your case?

[kearsley]

If I want Twitter, I'll use it. I just find the one-liner Twitter posts to range from content-free to gnomic, but generally to not be anything I'm interested in. I check my friends page for posts, rather than cryptic one-liners.

Then again, I also don't understand Facebook, so likely I'm just Web 2.0-phobic.

We quite agree *nods *

Oh, Kearsley. You have no idea how happy I am right now. *glomps* *tinkers with Firefox*

...except I can't get this to work. Location is http://www.chez.com/turvity/twittercull.xpi -- yes? Can't get it to load in Firefox. I'm not as good with this stuff as I used to be.

Troubleshooting

[kearsley]

As in, it downloads, but Firefox won't load it? If so, save it to your desktop, then drag the twittercull.xpi file into the Firefox window. That should give you a normal extension installer dialogue.

If it won't load the site, try getting the file from http://www.chez.com/turvity/

For what it's worth, I just tested and it works with your current layout.

Dragging it into the window worked, thanks! Yay, no more Twitter!
