This is cool, only works on Firefox. You must also have Greasemonkey loaded.

The userscripts page explains how to get Greasemonkey and use it, if you don't have it already.

I'm building a new secret Twitter account and this will let me follow people who are very interesting to me.
- Robert Scoble
The developer is @imusicmash and he said he showed it to Twitter's Alex Payne and Alex told him that Twitter is working on something like this.
- Robert Scoble
ugh Greasemonkey not updated for current Firefox beta. #fail
- Brett Schulte
i'm surprised you haven't done this 'secret' account already

Chris: I did it over on friendfeed. But now I want to be ready for the changes that Twitter will be making.

Scoble: I use TextExpander to get the bitly functionality you suggest...Text Expander uses applescript to get it done. I just copy URL then type "/bilty" and it makes the URL

Twitter need to really start to implement this stuff into their core service. It will make value the service more as its more feature rich and usable.
- Nicholas James
Don't know why twitter holds back on stuff that currently gets done using greasemonkey scripts. After all these additions will only cause load on the user's CPU. hmm.. Maybe they should just serve (optional) different javascript+css, enabled via preferences?!
