On a related note, I just created a bookmarklet to collapse comments. http://jaekwon.net/hncollapse.html http://jaekwon.net/hncollapse.html

  Also on a related note, I created a Greasemonkey script that allows you to navigate through the comments chronologically, using the right and left arrow keys. It helps with the problem that, once a thread becomes mature, it's hard to find the latest comments that were added. https://gist.github.com/1187770 https://gist.github.com/1187770

  Since this has kind of turned into a "post your bookmarklets" thread, I'll add mine into the mix: https://gist.github.com/1293929 https://gist.github.com/1293929 It searches for specific usernames in a comment thread (replicating the ctrl+f 'by $username' trick that stopped working when the comment-header syntax changed to hide comment karma), then scrolls to the next result every time you re-click it. You choose the usernames to search for by editing the query variable in the bookmarklet.

Shameless plug: I love the simplicity of HN polls, but if you use GoPollGo, you can see votes segmented by different countries/states/district. Soon we'll be adding the ability to split votes by age/gender/browser/os/referring website. Example: http://gopollgo.com/the-company-you-choose-remains-the-other-ceases-to-exist-you-decide-to-live-with- http://gopollgo.com/the-company-you-choose-remains-the-other...

Would be great if you could turn it into a greasemonkey script so that it would be run automatically. Unfortunately, my chrome bookmarks bar is completely filled up with other bookmarklets like this.
