If you use Firebug, this is a must-have. Rainbow adds syntax highlighting to the Firebug Javascript debugger for Firefox. This really improves readability of the script you're debugging.

Twitter badge hack: Turn URLs into links

Submitted by keath on Wed, 2008-08-06 05:48

TacoQuest has a cool Twitter badge hack to turn URLs in tweets into links. I modified his hack slightly to just show the URL instead of "link". Logic being that the URL had to fit in the tweet in the first place, so they usually look OK on my badge.

Here is my modified hack (read the TacoQuest post first):

twitters[i].text = twitters[i].text.replace(/(\bhttp:\/\/\S+(\/|\b))/gi,"<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>");
