Monkey Do, a Greasemonkey del.icio.us assistant - Daily Browser Tip

Greasemonkey uber-coder Mark Pilgrim has released one of the most impressive GM user scripts yet, called Monkey Do. Monkey Do watches what you're reading and if it sees something it thinks you might want to come back to later, it will ask you (with a very unobtrusive yellow prompt) if you want to bookmark it with del.icio.us. At this point it's a bit Pilgrim-centric (e.g. it guesses that you might want to bookmark Bugzilla reports), but it's very customizable, allowing you to choose what sorts of things (among a currently small list of choices) you want automatically bookmarked behind the scenes, what you want to be prompted about, and what to ignore. "Think of it as Clippy the Useless Office Assistant," Pilgrim says, "only for the web, and actually useful."
