First few words for those who want to know what greasemonkey is and what wonders it can do, Greasemonkey is Firefox add-on which let you edit the way web looks and works with the help of wide variety of already available scripts and you can also write your own. Greasemonkey works simply scripts available are assigned for specific urls where it will only work and javascript change the functionality or visually the way webpage looks (it depends for what script was made)

To use Greasemonkey first you need Firefox then Greasemonkey (install) simply click on install script and Greasemonkey will do rest of the job simply enjoy changing the web your own way.

According to BlogsDNA

Whenever you will download any Greasemonkey script, your Greasemonkey Firefox add-on will automatically detects site for which that script is applicable and applys that script to the site as soon as you open it.

As promised the following are 21 most useful and best of the best Greasemonkey scripts which can change the whole user experience of any specific web application. (i chosen them from best lists out there worth 2 hours i found some new and better ones)

1. Youtube Googler (Install Script)

This script is so useful when you always want to see videos in bigger size still not full screen but moderately large so pixel don’t explode in the video. This greasemonkey script makes youtube more look like Google Videos making the video area covering most of the screen (which is obviously a user concern on that page) striping comment area and video suggestion all together on the left just like a sidebar image reference available below.

2. Youtube Alternative Video Player (Install Script)

Do you hate auto playing of youtube videos like i do? when I am searching for some videos i open 3 or maybe 4 videos at once then i have to manually pause them to see any one of them which is totally un acceptable. we have another option with this script, it replaces the stock Youtube Video Player with one that keep the video paused until ‘Play’ button is pressed but it keep buffering the video without playing them so when you press play you get already loaded video.

3. Download Youtube Video III (Install Script)

If you are everyday youtube user you must came across videos that you badly want to save on your hard disk for future usage. If yes give this script a try it will fulfill all your video downloading needs very nicely when you click on download video icon (that appears with icons under video after installing script) the download pop up will come up from where you can take video to your download manager if you want faster downloads. Linux users need to Right Click and choose ‘Save as’.

4. Youtube “Lights Out” (Install Script)

This script is eye saver I say sometimes video is too dark or too light that you literally want youtube page’s base colour to be black so you can concentrate on video and watch it properly without hurting your eyes. well now you can do something about it this script gives you a little button to switch the lights off and watch the video easily when you click on ‘Lights Out’ button everything on the page (except video) turns dark gray when you click again everything turns Black. When it’s too dark and you can find ‘Lights Out’ button don’t panic clicking anywhere on the page will turn lights on.

5. Flickr “Lights Out” (Install Script)

Flickr Lights Out works same as ‘Youtube Lights Out’ so you can watch pictures easily when lighting condition is not all good matching with picture the only difference is ‘Light Out’ button is on top of picture.

6. Text Areabackup (Install Script)

Remembering everything you write on the web is not as easy as it sounds this script gona ease your mind. Text Areabackup work as a remembering machine while you browse the web and putting your emails, website addresses in short everything you write will be save in a virtual memory of this script. (Note: this script don’t work with Gmail)

7. Google Image Relinker with Mouseover (Install Script)

This is one of my favourite script because of its function and how much ease it gives when you searching for images in Google Image Search. Normally you when you search for images you have to do a lot of mouse clicks to get to the actual image but now things are a little bit interesting when this script is installed you just ‘Mouse Over’ or we say ‘Hover’ over any image thumbnail and see the image preview first then click on it and you get to the image directly instead of clicking again for ‘full size image’ its mean only one click and you get the image. How sweet!

8. Google Account Multi-Login (Install Script)

I am using more than two gmail accounts one for work purpose and one my personal so i had to find this script for multiple account usage at once because signing out and signing in again isn’t as easy as it sounds and waste bit of time too. After installing script your ‘Sign Out’ will turn into drop down box with a couple of options there you can add as many accounts as much you want and switch them with a single click of mouse.

9. GoogleTagCloudMaker (Install Script)

GTCM is really very useful script when you can’t decide proper keyword of your desired search result. It makes a tag cloud at your right pane with suggestion of many relevant keywords to choose from this also help you finding related search results of what you are looking for.

10. Google Ads Remover+ (Install Script)

Sometimes ads are really annoying specially when your connection is slow and web page stuck when it’s loading ads. Now you can remove Google ads from any website you want for faster browsing as a side note I won’t recommend disabling ads because sometimes you really find good resources and considerable product offers out of them so if you have no problem with them then leave as they are. Other usage of this script is to configure it to disable ads from a specific url not the whole web just like i did it with my website so I don’t accidentally click them and penalize for click fraud.

11. Google Image Auto Pager (Install Script)

This is another script for google image search to make searching images easier. Google image auto pager makes ‘image search page’ advance by giving you option to load next set of images on the second page loads on the very same page where you start. When you search for some image you get a lots of results when you are done with first page simply ‘Double Click’ any where on the page to load next set of images doing this again will stop the loading process.

12. Disable Text Ads (Install Script)

I know I know sometimes text ads (Contextual ads) are so much annoying that you badly want them not to disturb and make hurdles during browsing. This script work simply you install it and get rid of text ads forever. Currently this script is removing ads from following Advertisement networks “Vibrant Media (IntelliTXT), AdBrite, Infolicious (lingoSpot), Kontera, Linkworth, EchoTopic, Targetpoint and MediaText.”

13. Pre-fill Comments (Install Script)

Pre-fill Comment is really a life saver script because the one’s who comment on blogs, products or webpages will love this script for life. I know no body likes to write his name, e-mail and url everytime he want to visit a new blog then how about just pressing ‘Alt+C’ and the fields will be filled automatically sounds very easy, yeah obviously it is.

14. LookItUp2 (Intsall Script)

This script is more than just a greasemonkey script because when i first saw this i never believed just a script can do this much. You can add whichever website in it to look up what ever you want to just like add wikipedia and search for ‘Al Pacino’ now you get information without exploring all over the website. Many search sources comes when you install the script and you can add many more according to your choice i prefer you to visit this script’s homepage so you know all information about it because features are vast and I can’t review it all here.

15. Digg Friend Easier (Install Script)

Making your digg profile healthy is all about friends, and users becomes friends when you regularly digg their submissions. This script make things a lot easier than you can ever think now you can digg your friend’s submissions in bulk you do it everyday and they’ll consider making you mutual friend someday. When you install this script submission pages ‘/friends/submissions’ and ‘/friends/shoutsin’ will be having ‘digg it’ shortcut under every submission so you just click on it and ajaxly it will be dugg instantly. Keep on digging ‘easily’

16. Always Open New Windows in Digg (Install Script)

If you are a regular digger spend hour or two just digging then your your left hand always picking up CTRL key (there are also other ways to open new window except holding CTRL key while clicking link) to open external links in new window well now you don’t really need to worry about this problem just install this simple little script and click the links in digg they’ll open in new window always.

17. Advanced Search Options on Digg’s Search Forms (Install Script)

Sometimes while searching on digg you get a lot of irrelevant results but now that wont be a problem any more with this tiny script search forms are advance more than ever and have a lot of options that a search form needs. you can also customized the way search results show look the following screenshot for reference.

18. SU Visual Editor Plus (Install Script)

This script enhance the way your text editor of your stumble upon page looks and works. Installing ‘SU Visual Editor Plus’ won’t do such any wonders but it can increase functionality such as increased width, increased height, background colours matched of the editor etc

19. Stumbleupon Avatar Bubbles (Install Script)

This script works so simple yet interesting and i thought every stumbler would loving using it. After installing SU Avatar Bubbles you get option to see Avatar images bigger when you hover your mouse over them so you dont need to open profile then click profile image to see actual size of the avatar.

20. AJAX Twitter Refresh (Install Script)

If you use twitter from web then you won’t be able to see new tweets unless you refresh the page. After installing this script your twitter page will be automatically refresh every after a minute (70 times per hour) this twitter page refresh scripts is better from others because you won’t notice when page refreshes actually its ajaxly refreshed.

21. Endless Tweets (Install Script)

If you are a die hard twitter and use to tweet everyday and explore people twitter timeline then this script is surely for you. The script automatically loads next set of tweets when you scroll the bottom of the timeline page unlike you click ‘Older’ button and read the tweets on second page. Endless Tweets saves a lot of time and preloading of tweets is also very fast.

Lack of traffic is problem of any new blogger or website owner sometimes desperately they left blogging within first 3-6 months without knowing that waiting time will pay someday. Even if your blog is new you can have a decent amount of traffic just by following some activities that can generate you good amount of visitors. Just as a side note I want any new blogger to know that every after 3 months google updates page rank for any website on the internet so you should be dropping your link everywhere to get a hand full of backlinks because more backlinks (quality of links matters i’ll write some other day about this) more page rank.

The real and natural traffic is what you get from search engines and when it comes to search engines google owns them all. Appearing in google search on top most results is only possible when you have a good page rank though many other factors are also involved but the page rank game is the most highlighted. Today I am sharing some quick methods which can generate you tons of traffic from referring sites.

• Social Bookmarking Websites

These days Social bookmark websites are owning the web everyone out there is stumbling, digging, mixing or whatever you name it and if you are webmaster and already saw the traffic effects from these websites then you must be aware of fact how much benefitial these websites can be in sense of diverting visitors to your website and give exposure to your content. All you have to do is to register on many famous social bookmark websites and submit your pages there but this is not enough make a lot of friends (probably the one’s already have blogs) you help them they help you more positive points or we can say more votes the more traffic you’ll get. If you want to take a slight idea how much traffic you can get from referring websites then see this (Skidzopedia is a few months old blog) and visit this page where you can find me on most popular media websites.

• Link & Thumb Exchanges

This is also another effective way of making your blog famous and gets permanent readers. By link exchanging or thumb exchanging you link to other’s blog and they link yours two common ways of doing link exchange are in content link change or in blogroll. While link or thumb exchanging you should consider that the other blog should be the same genre of your blog like you can’t thumb exchange with food blog if you write about technology there is less chance of getting benefit. Want thumb or link exchange with TechieSouls? goto Contact Page and give me a messege.

• Guest Posting

Make blogger friends contact them from their website contact form and ask that you want to do a guest post on their blog when they accept your proposal put your website url and your feed url in the beginning or at the end of the post this way you can have a quality backlink plus you’ll get some RSS readers too and the best of all some visitors.

• Commenting on blogs

The key to success is ‘leave trackbacks where ever you go’ this is possible when you comment on other’s blog. Leaving comments on every blog you visit will help spreading your links over the web there is chance you’ll get visitors, the main benefit of doing this is the author of blogs you visit will also comment on your blog which is the only way to know what people think about your content. A tip from my side, make a folder in your bookmarks and then bookmark your favourite blogs in it and then comment on these blogs regularly.

• Post your content to forums

When you write something sizzling or too new then you should write about it in forums with a backlink of your blog post. But you have to be sure the post is worth posting in forums because you can’t post your blog links daily on forums doing this everyday will end up with a banned account because the moderators will consider it as spam. Now I don’t post my articles to forums but when I used to post I got upto 1k visitors within hours which is worth (the forums were really popular and having enormous amount of members).

• Start a contest, give prizes

This is really an effective and quick way of gaining popularity and traffic, the game is simple here choose a prize which you think really is useful and your readers need, it can be a domain, a rapid share account or a hosting package (but you shouldn’t spend too much a reasonable prize will do the job) make rules ask them, to take part in the contest a backlink is required, a comment on this post and subscribe to out RSS or E-mail feeds and believe me they’ll do it. To give it real hype you can ask some of your popular bloggers friends to write about your contest in their blog. If you want to take idea how to start a contest see this

• Publicize your blog

You can also gain popularity by publicizing your blog by different methods, you can make and print contact cards of your blog including your name, you can design and print out T-shirts and give away to your friends and lads or lasses to wear, another cool idea is to print out stickers and paste onto your car or your good one’s cars so people see your blog address. The most effective and tested way is to design an A4 size documents and then print them on as many places as much you can college notice boards your friend’s wall (ask him first lol). This is not more of a quick traffic gaining tip but this way can give you regular readers.

For Idea see following images:

Design was launched a day before this post, i am sorry i am late in doing this post was busy with studies.

Okay guys finally I changed my blog design to new one you must’ve noticed lack of new posts in past couple of days it was because I was working with the theme it gave me hard time with some little things out of order or not working all well and the worst from all some Wordpress plugins were making a lot of mess.

This new theme is based on a little bit of technology look, the header give carbon fibre looks and has 4 sexy looking icons on header these icons links to my most popular categories for easy access and one of them ‘Socialize me’ take to you my personal page where you can read a little about me and links to all social media and bookmark websites where you can find me and add as friend.

Now when I am done with theme, it’s your job to let me know about any error, bug or broken things and also how do you find this new revolutionary and more vibrant look of TechieSouls? Let me know and expect even better in future

Side note: I am planning to release one of my pre made Wordpress themes and some Photoshop templates which I made in my spare time, so people expect them soon (Subscribe to my RSS feed to know instantly when I launch them)

]]> http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/09/04/techiesouls-got-new-design-atlast/feed/ http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/08/28/search-the-web-visually-with-searchme/ http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/08/28/search-the-web-visually-with-searchme/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:29:16 +0000 MOin http://www.techiesouls.com/?p=495 I just came across a really innovative search engine which lets you search the web visually when you search something on it, it shows you a preview image of the page you are about to visit and you get some idea where you are actually going. It is called Searchme yeah the name is a little frisky and catch your eye when you first read it somewhere. I personally like the name though at first it sounds like you are searching something about yourself or your own identity on web but not really it doesn’t do something like this.

In fact search me is a little more than a search engine apart from this new and cool feature of showing search results visually in form of slide show it also offers a lots of cool options to play with like you can make new stacks to save your desired or favourite search results into it and access anytime directly without searching again.

Another eye catching feature is that it let you select how the Searchme page looks two themes are available ‘day’ and ’night’ and both looks fantastic.

I was looking for a simple free burner which can do the burning job very well and doesn’t come with extra crap with the setup file so far I found 3 from which I choose BurnAware the best from them and I am sure this is the best free CD, DVD and Blue Ray discs writer.

BurnAware comes with a couple of writing options which are more than enough for daily CD DVD burning jobs I used to burn disc media with Nero but openly speaking now Nero comes with extra foo that’s really not necessary for regular usage so it is heavy on memory, disc and setup file weights ton, this was the primary reason I started a search for free light weight burner.

Under DVD/CD writing options you can make Data CD, Audio CD, Jukebox CD, Burn Image file, Make Image file, Erase CD and see information about disc. Add another option Video DVD under DVD options that’s all and I personally think these options are more than enough for daily burning jobs and I am happy with them.
