Digging up the pertinent information for you now. If it's not GM based I'll eat my words. But a reliable source informed me that that's what they were using.

Are you sure it exists in terms of actually having seen, possibly tested it yourself rather than merely reading about it? A Greasemonky script, as you say?
There's others around, but they're not GM based.
Merely inquiring to check if this isn't just another rumor mill a-spinning, or a case of mistaking one app for another.
Would be nice to see something more definitive and verifiable, if it's not asking too much.
(And don't get me wrong: I'm NOT saying you made this up, or anything – but this thingy does seem pretty hard to track down. Which is a mite strange if it's really being deployed as widely as you say it is.)

Right back at 'cha, Stuart! I'm happy to have you as part of my Twitterverse. It doesn't seem like all that long ago one of my friends said, “Hey…have you heard of Twitter?” Almost 6500 updates later, here we are!

Definitely, I feel like a broken record from how many times I have had to say “Twitter is all about the relationships”

There is more to Twitter than generating followers for me. My goal isn't to build a rock star following of people who also follow thousands of other people and, because of that, never see even one of my tweets throughout the day.

I follow fewer than 300 people and I'm sure I miss out on a lot of useful and relevant information just because of the noise in my Twitterstream. Everyone's goals for using Twitter are different, I suppose...but I actually use it to connect with people who share similar interests or, at the very least, have something interesting to say.

I also don't reciprocal follow and certainly don't follow someone based on their number of followers. Most of the people I follow have some ties to the search marketing industry. Like JeremyVaught, I go through those I'm following periodically and weed out those who have never engaged me or offered anything useful that I can recall off hand.

By the way, I absolutely adore that you used a picture from Super Troopers to illustrate shenanigans! Just for the record, I'm pretty sure they're really baked in that scene. I'm just sayin'!
