[jQuery] replace string.prototype functions with jquery

[seaofclouds]

i made a very simple jquery plugin that displays your twitter status.
http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/ naturally, there is much work to be done
in the way of optimizing this plugin. first off, i have a few search
and replace functions, which i would like to replace with the jquery
equivilent.

String.prototype.linktag = function() {
  return this.replace(/[#]+[A-Za-z0-9-_]+/, function(t) {
var tag = t.replace("#","%23")
return t.link("http://summize.com/search?q="+tag);
  });
};

any tips? tweet is on github if you'd like to contribute or keep up to
date. you can view the full source of the plugin at:

[jQuery] search and replace, updating string.prototype with jquery equivalent

[seaofclouds]

i've got the following code in my jquery plugin, tweet, which pulls in
twitter updates unobtrusively. admittedly, it's a little cumbersome,
but it does the job. now that it works, i'd like to streamline it,
making it more jquery friendly.

String.prototype.linkify = function() {
  return this.replace(/[A-Za-z]+:\/\/[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z0-9-_:%&\?
\/.=]+/, function(m) {
  return m.link(m);
  });
};
String.prototype.linkuser = function() {
  return this.replace(/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/, function(u) {
var username = u.replace("@","")
return u.link("http://twitter.com/"+username);
  });
};
String.prototype.linktag = function() {
  return this.replace(/[#]+[A-Za-z0-9-_]+/, function(t) {
var tag = t.replace("#","%23")
return t.link("http://summize.com/search?q="+tag);
  });
};
