Markdown 4 What?!

It bothers me that Facebook doesn't natively support Markdown, so I wrote a Chrome Extension that does.

I started with Donald Little's Hackathon Hackers Facebook Tags extension, dropped in Christopher Jeffery's marked library, and wrote like 12 lines of javascript.

MD4W is kind of slow right now, but I only spent 30 minutes on it. Certainly there are improvements to be made. Oh yeah, and hashtags & @mentions are probably broken. In fact, I'd probably only use this for bold, italic, and inline code spans.

You'll have to load it as an unpacked extension to try it out, but give it a shot!
