Google News Quickie- Firefox Toolbar Update

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

Quote:

This new release includes feed integration with the Google Personalized Homepage and a number of other feed readers. We’ve made searching better by including previous queries, spelling corrections, and suggestions for popular choices. Gmail fans might appreciate having the mailto: links in Firefox open a compose window in Gmail -– no more copying and pasting email addresses. And to combat the ever-increasing threat of phishing, we’ve integrated the Safe Browsing extension into Toolbar to alert you when a page is trying to steal sensitive information. Check out everything in the new Toolbar here.

Thoughts: Will this increase your traffic from feeds? We’ll see. I have to run out, and we’ll see when I get back.

Cool Blogger Tagging Tool for Firefox Users

Friday, February 10th, 2006

I read about this in the A Consuming Experience Blog. It’s a GreaseMonkey script that makes it easy to append Technorati tags to your posts if you use Blogger. Install the script, log into Blogger, type up your tags, comma or otherwse separated, publish, done. You can even make it set up your default tags, which I always did by using the default template box under Settings ->Formatting.

This makes it much easier to work with…. If you want to Google it for other user experiences, try Multiple Word Technorati tag creator for Blogger. That’s it’s proper name and it’s now compatible with Firefox 1.5, and Greasemonkey 0.6.4.

The best education you can get about what web feeds are and how to use them is to start reading the web with a browser that is feed capable, or using online tools you’re already familiar with.

Firefox

Mozilla’s preview release of its latest browser update, Firefox, comes with an easy feature for feed readers called Live Bookmarks. When you come across a site that has its AutoDiscovery tag in place, you’ll see an orange RSS button in the lower right-hand corner.

Free Traffic Quickie

Monday, September 20th, 2004

There isn’t going to be a Money Monday today. I’m sorry folks. A couple of unexpected issues arose and I had to take a time-out and handle them – and since I’m working at a reduced capacity, I’m totally worn out. We’ll resume the regular schedule tomorrow with Google Tuesdays.

And before you wonderful people start writing to me, yes, I promise I’m taking it easy – at l;east as much as I can.

In the meantime, I suggest that if you haven’t already, you take a look at Mozilla Firefox. Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Forbes magazine are soooo right about what a time-saving tool it is.

The yummy 1.0 preview has saved me even more time than the .92 version I’d been using. If you’re having trouble with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, I suggest you give it a whirl, especially if you read feeds, or find that you need to have several windows open to work.

Google Tuesdays: Just observing

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

I heart you Mozilla Firefox.

Not really what this post is about, but being able to type “google whatever i want” into the address bar is a nice feature. I believe you can do the same thing with IE if you have the Google bar installed, but don’t quote me on that. I rarely use MSIE and I’ve only been able to make that work once…

But in my hunt for another free traffic tip, I went ahead and typed “google free traffic tip” in my address bar, and ended up at my own site.. Someone crank up the Alanis Morrisette… I’ve got one more Google Tuesdays post then we’re done. Don’t cry though, it’ll be back next week (on time! … well. probably…)
