photo credit: knitsteelI really only enough about web design to be dangerous- I’ve just been far too busy/lazy to learn how to be a good designer, and there’s really no point in aspiring to mediocrity. Except of course, to know enough about whether you’re hiring a good designer. 
Nowadays, I am still able to tweak a pre-packaged design, but i frequently get annoyed by two things.
Okay.
So you’re browsing around, looking at this and that, and you stumble across something that you think might be pretty cool, mysterious, entertaining, what ever.
Yup! Mislead again. You land on a page that set’s your spyware software into a tizzy.
How are you to know where you’re gonna land?
Ah! What a conundrum.
Guess what – The “Big Mo” can help.
Here’s another Firefox Add-on that will make you happy you stopped by. It’s called
Web Automation, Web Testing and Data Extraction?
Well, do you?
Here’s a quote from Rick Broida at Lifehacker blog -
“This powerful tool has countless applications. You can use it to fill in forms that stretch across multiple pages, to automatically log into a site and perform specific activities, or even to extract data from a site and save it as a CSV file. It’s particularly useful for web developers looking to test the performance and functionality of their sites. Macros can be edited, controlled with JavaScript and combined with other extensions.”
So, what is it? It’s Imacros from Firefox.
What more could you want?
Have you heard about the “Bitty Browser”?
Well, check this out!
Bitty Browser helps you keep track of your favorite Web stuff by enabling navigable windows directly within your favorite sites – it’s like Picture-in-Picture for the Web.
For example – Try opening Bitty in: Google, Netvibes, Pageflakes, Windows Live, Protopage, Typepad, WordPress, webwag, 30 Boxes, Widgetbox, AOL’s AIMPages. (In a couple of sites you have to log in – but it’s no big deal). Or add Bitty to any other site or blog via a simple HTML copy/paste.
It’s also a platform to Widgetize and Syndicate activity – how cool is that?!?
For all you Web developers, bloggers, advertisers, publishers, Bitty Browser is a smart way to widgetize and syndicate interactivity.
One of my struggles in moving from a PC to a Mac is that there are very few suitable screen capture programs that can be used in the native Mac environment. I bought Camtasia Studio back in the day, and it works fine on Windows in Mac, but only within the Windows environment. So, if I want to film a video to show Mac users who don’t have/like Windows how to do something in a Mac OS X environment, I’m stuck with clunky tools, or SOL.
Sure, there’s Screen-o-matic.com, but they only publish in online public SWF and for download MOV, which I then have to convert to AVI. The sound also tends to suck, which may not be their fault, as I often have to apply post filming audio filters.
And I could use Screenography, too. But besides being a memory hog, and occasionally having unreasonable file sizes, it’s just not as smooth an interface as Camtasia.
Now, how cool is this going to be?
Way cool!
