    Twitter/Favrd switcher bookmarklet

    Okay Favrd community, here’s the thing.

    Sometimes when I’m admiring someone’s Favrd page, I want to follow them if I haven’t yet, or star some of their tweets without having to click on several “View original” links, or just look for unstarred tweets that might deserve starring. That’s when I get annoyed that Favrd doesn’t provide a convenient link to people’s Twitter profiles.

    Sometimes when I’m at someone’s Twitter profile, I wonder if they get webcocks, or if I know they do, I want to see the response to their latest tweets, or I want to check if Favrd has tracked my fresh stars for them yet. I have no idea how you guys do it. Do you actually type out the url for someone’s Favrd page? Do you set up a keyword for your browser, like I’ve done? (I can type fv x in my Firefox to visit favrd.textism.com/person/x.) I wasn’t satisfied with that.

    So many fiery hoops in the fog on the cotton rope bridge between the two sites. I don’t know how you crazies put up with this crap for so long.

    So a month ago I decided to write a bookmarklet: the one-click solution I yearned for. Over a few days, I learned all the Javascript I needed, coded, tinkered, and worked around the Favrd site bugs (oh man, wait till you hear about those). From a simple url switcher — twitter.com/x to favrd.textism.com/person/x and vice versa — it evolved into one robust enough to work on practically any Twitter and Favrd webpage: tweet, profile, even home page.

    Been using it for a good month now. I meant to share, but it’s so seamlessly part of my Twitter/Favrd surfing that I actually forgot, hehe sorry.

    Here it is: Twitter/Favrd — Drag this link to your bookmarks bar

    Notes:

    • If you’re on any non-profile Twitter page while you’re logged on, this takes you to your Favrd page.
    • If you’re on any Favrd leaderboard or search page, this takes you to the Twitter profile of whoever’s listed first.
    • If you’re on Favrd’s HUH? page and you’re not using an ad blocker, it might take you to the current ad’s Twitter profile. Good luck!

    Hope you find this useful. Let me know about any problems. And please reblog, because not everyone’s following this Tumblr.

    Juicy technical stuff (including the Favrd site design horrors I mentioned) may come in another post.

    Update: You like this very much.

Hello. I'm Lionel. From Borneo.
In KL.

I invented the Twitter/Favrd bookmarklet, to rave reviews. Favstar's and Twitya's bookmarklets (and bastard kids I may not know about) inherited its genes. I did not invent Sexy Sex Thursdays, but I might have caused it.

A robot what?

My askhole. (Suggestions)
