They did add support for GM-like scripts, if I'm not mistaken, so Chrome enhancements are not too far away. I'm sure twitter is using this usage data somehow - Troy's script is quite popular and twitter has already started incorporating some features that may make it obsolete in the end. To them though, it's free ideas, free testing, and free feedback. Win/win. Enjoy the script and say thanks to Troy!

The retweet button and auto-complete would truly be amazing additions. I wonder how things would go if Twitter made a practice of incorporating popular features after they've been proven through use of the GM scripts? Might be an inexpensive way to get a bunch of beta tests out of the way. Thanks! I'm not a firefox user (chrome – I know, I know) but after reading this, you've nearly convinced me to switch.

I hope not. Do other URL expanders (expanding previously shortened URLs) prefetch the page and thereby screw up the site analytics? Remember the AVG LinkScanner debacle? Similar problem here if you have a lot of followers on Twitter and they all use this prefetch. Your site stats could show that you got a lot more visitors than you actually genuinely received. I'd like to think I was wrong. Anyone done any testing with different services? Does this AutoExpander prefetch the page, and hence register as a pageview in the site logs/analytics? I hope not.
