PBtweet powers up your Twitter web experience on Google Chrome

Google Chrome has had Userscripts support for a long time. Unfortunately, a lot of the really great Userscripts are designed with Greasemonkey for Firefox in mind, meaning you miss out if you're using Chrome.

PBtweet, on the other hand, works just fine in webkit-based browsers like Chrome and Safari and it brings a more powerful interface to Twitter's web client.

Save that script into your User Scripts folder and activate support using the --enable-user-scripts switch, and you're ready to rock. PBtweet adds several handy features including auto-refresh, threaded replies, short URL expansion, translation, retweeting, and picture thumbnails from sites like Twitpic and Tumblr.

For a touch of eye candy, PBtweet makes use of Webkit's support for CSS3 transition effects. If you'd prefer not to monkey around with a Userscript, there's even a bookmarklet you can use to activate the features.
