I’ve always wanted Twitter to have an easier way to contact people if I’m not following them. Finding them is a pain in itself, so jumping more hoops to send them a message or reply is adding to the custard. Plus, it has been a while since I played around with Greasemonkey, having moved away from Firefox about 3 months back and all. Hence, this is a little community giveaway sort of thing.⌘
RRTS adds a nice little box to all Twitter profiles (including your own for the moment), which you can use to reply to that person immediately. Just install the script (it’ll ask you for your credentials1), and visit people’s profiles. You’ll see the box, in which you just type the message (forget the ‘@username’ — the script adds that itself), and submit. Presto!⌘
I haven’t tested this too extensively, so expect bugs. You know where to find me.⌘

This will break when oAuth comes in. If it isn’t too much of a headache, I’ll port things over. Maybe Twitter would have solved the problem themselves by then? ↩
