New Media Tools: Blog Signature Comment ID for Grease Monkey at Userscripts.org
As a researcher and new media social user I comment on blogs news sites and various other places on a daily basis. Being I am use the same gravatar linked email and ‘signature’ almost every time, I wanted to save myself a bit of typing. Yes this is a common reason for most things I code. I wanted to save a few keystrokes and horde as many seconds as possible for myself. The bright side being, I am more than glad to share.
This script will enter your name, email, signature and website. It will ‘autofocus’ to the pages comment form on activation. You may also set your own hotkey up for use. Setting can be reached from the greasemonkey settings tab. The official version is hosted at UserScripts.org [install link]
Please do join the discussion there or here in the comments to let me know what you find. I have include the codebase used as well, if you make a better version let me know :)
