Mutwual, A Twitter Bookmarklet To Quickly Check If Someone Follows You

Often when viewing a Twitter profile, the same comment pops into my mind: "Does this person follow me?". That's a basic information Twitter profiles still fail to clearly show. There's a neat site you may know already, doesfollow.com, which lets you know if user1 follows user2 in a very simple way: check http://doesfollow.com/user1/user2 (example). Simple, but this lacks automation and…

Famfamfam Icon Explorer: Search, Sort, Find

When updating my WordPress plugin Admin Drop Down Menu with all these cute icons from famfamfam, I felt a bit overwhelmed by them.

After spending 15 minutes looking at…

The Lightbox Clones Matrix: Compare 30+ Lightbox Scripts

Early 2006, a cool guy named Lokesh Dhakar introduced Lightbox, a unobtrusive script used to display large images using modal dialogs over a black faded background. A great script, really. Since, every once in a while, someone comes up with their own take at this concept, using this or that javascript library (jQuery, Prototype, Mootools, YUI, you name it) and…

Pretty Comments is a tiny (1kb) jQuery plugin that makes textareas grow as content goes in. This should make a pretty cool addition to any jQuerified comment form. I think I'll add this here to my own theme when I have some time to do some coding in order to get rid of Prototype.
