Welcome back. You're awesome!

Everyone knows how awesome Duncan’s FriendFeed tabs are. After reading Smaller Tabs, More Choices , I created a couple more tabs to help increase my productivity while using FriendFeed. I agree with Duncan, though: “Ideally these will one day become one script and user definable.” So I decided to go ahead and make that happen.

This new script will allow you to enable/disable tabs right from the configuration GUI. You can also create new tabs by specifying a name and a website. The script will try to automatically figure out where the favicon is if you don’t specify it. You can also toggle Cleaner FriendFeed from the config GUI. If you are running any of the tab scripts or Cleaner FriendFeed, you should disable them as I don’t think they will play nice with this script.

I created a quick screencast to demonstrating some of the features.

You can download the script from here.

What Now?

This script is great! Thanks for the share Rahsheen. Now I can experiment w/ different services in the tabs without adding yet another script each time.

That's definitely the point. Let me know how it works for you. I have found some caveats with certain sites (google stuff, for instance). Also, I noticed that socialmedian.com won't show an icon if you don't put in http://www.socialmedian.com (as in the screencast). I need feedback to see if maybe I should handle things differently in the script
