I am a support engineer on Gears, and I'm in love with it. Everyday I sit down and think about what projects, sites, mashups, or fun little tools could benefit from Gears. Well, the truth is there's a lot. Sites with a lot of static information -- Wikipedia, any API documentation, web-based email -- would be great to be able to use when no internet connection is available. But what if you're a user that always has an internet connection? Then adding Gears to a site doesn't do much, right? Wrong. Imagine your favorite website is now stored on your computer, and it syncs whenever there's altered content. Whenever you look at the site, your browser is grabbing everything straight from your hard drive. Did you just make a search for your best friend on Facebook? Don't wait 5 seconds the next time that search runs, have the results immediately! Meanwhile, save the webmasters' precious bandwidth/server power! But alas, if only it were a reality that every site was Gears enabled -- the internet faster and available anywhere. You'd need every site to implement Gears -- GearsMonkey to the rescue! By using Gears with the Firefox Greasemonkey plugin, you can inject Gears code into any website that you want. Don't wait for your favorite website to enable offline support -- do it yourself. Follow along as I show you step-by-step how to take Wikipedia offline.

Neat little tool that helps me filter and read only "hot" posts in my rss subscriptions.

No delay greasemonkey script to bypass those download sites with delay requirements.

This paper discusses a number of userscripts that aggregate information from two or more web resources. Examples are shown that enrich web pages with information from other resources, and show how information from web pages can be used to link to, search, and process information in other resources. Due to the nature of userscripts, scientists are able to select those scripts they find useful on a daily basis, as the scripts run directly in their own web browser rather than on the web server. This flexibility allows the scientists to tune the features of web resources to optimise their productivity.
