I've been checking out a new feature of Firefox web browsers which enables developers to rewrite web pages. Called Greasemonkey, it's a browser add-on which let's anyone change the layout, look & feel and even add functionality to websites. I had an a-ha moment when I was able to merge Yahoo! Personals and Match.com search results on the same web page. Think about Lycos Dating Search, but without the technical challenge of merging of profiles from partner sites.

Hundreds of people have already created new versions of existing websites. Google Mail, finance sites and many others have been treated to a website makeover, and the results look promising. I can't wait to see what these enterprising programmers come up with next.
