I've been wanting to use this for a long time but Safari's version of Greasemonkey doesn't support the GM_xmlhttpRequest function anymore.

Nice! twitter confuses me how it will convert your urls to tiny urls when you don't want to - but won't when you need it to.

yah.. I wrote it partly to take that ambiguity away.. also seemed a shame to take up some of your 140 characters with a long url, then only to see that Twitter compressed it for you in the saved Tweet, reminding you that you could have typed more :)

on the typing more front words - have you seen tweetshrink? http://tweetshrink.com/ - it'll shorten words like later to l8r to save characters - http://tweetdeck.com have integrated it's api into their twitter client
sort of related, I wrote a Greasemonkey script to automatically create bit.ly urls as you type a Twitter Tweet. Does it on the fly. Uses the bit.ly API. Check it out at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39042
