Get all displayed tweets from a timeline as plaintext in single lines! This is very usefull to get data from twitter without having an api key. This especially works fine on the "advanced search"-results!

To use it just open the console window with CTRL+SHIFT+I and paste the gist content and hit ENTER. On the top of the timeline a small textarea should appear containing your tweets text.

Make sure to never paste code into your console that you have not checked for validity!
