Very simple greasemonkey script to redirect all Friendfeed requests to the new beta site.

Updated to exclude paths that do not work under the beta.friendfeed.com domain.

The new Friendfeed UI beta opened to the public on Monday 2009/4/6 and has been getting great reviews from many tech pundits. The UI is so good that I'm thinking of switching from my current favorite FF tool Twhirl to the web UI. The only problem with the web UI is that it's designed to be used in a large browser window. I prefer this type of content in a slim window off to the side of my desktop. Resizing the window results in the sidebar menu squeezing out the content.

New Friendfeed UI doesn't work in a slim window

To remedy this I wrote this "Friendfeed Mini" Greasemonkey script. This is my first GM script so please comment if you find bugs or have any suggestions. It's a work in progress but it's usable. Note: The script is for the beta site. I'll probably need to update the script when the new UI comes out of beta.

Social media junkie or not, any geek loves it when all the pieces of a technology come together just right. Thanks to some great online services like FriendFeed and a Drupal module appropriately named FriendFeed You can aggregate your tweets, diggs, pictures and even comments on blogs, into clean HTML and RSS for easy consumption.
