Firefox Plugin Yoono Puts All Your Social Media in One Place

Posted on 09. Sep, 2009 by Alex.Braz.

I admit, I’m almost addicted to all this social media thing. I will tweet about my Facebook and post pictures to Flickr just so I can blog about it. Many of you also use MySpace, Flickr, Imeem, FriendFeed, AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Live.

So let me ask you something. Is it fun having to click a hundred times just to check if there’s anything new on your favorite social media websites? It sure is not for me. I’ve tried many different gadgets and applications to tweet from my desktop. I even enabled the sidebar again! But since Firefox is the program that runs for me most of the time, I had to find something to put it in it.

Yoono is great, but I won’t lie to you, it also has its downfalls. However, once you set the gadget, it works pretty well. You can install it from the Firefox Add-On site, of course for free.

Comment Faster with EasyComment

Posted on 16. Dec, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

As a blogger, I try to comment frequently at the blogs I like and on any great articles I stumble across.  However, I don’t always leave comments, and the main reason behind it is the fact that I don’t want to fill out those three pesky fields again (name, email and website).  I know, I know.  I’m lazy, but Firefox made me lazy by always remembering my login on all the websites I go to.  I want the same functionality for commenting to speed things up.

EasyComment is a FireFox plugin that does just that.  Click a small button on your status bar and all of the fields are filled out completely.  This plugin has increased my commenting frequency by at least two-fold.
