Greasemonkey & Web Design
As a Web interface designer, I’m watching the recent torrent of Greasemonkey scripts with great interest.
For the uninitiated, Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows users to load custom DHTML scripts that modify a specific website anytime they visit it. “Greasemonkey allows you to fix website annoyances or add desired functionality missing from a site. Additionally, the scripts can bring content from other sites and resources and embed them into the page you are viewing.”
I guess my interest in Greasemonkey is tri-fold:
* As a new form of User Needs Analysis
* As a means of Improving the Web Experience
* How it impacts content/site/interface/etc. Ownership (and responsibility) (Via Functioning Form)
