There are so many social bookmarking services and communities out there, why do you have to choose one to focus on? Now you don’t have to choose. Mahalo Follow 3 Beta is a Firefox extension that allows you to submit a webpage to multiple social bookmarking sites with a single click, literally.

I can’t believe I’ve never stumbled across Stylish until recently. It is similar to Greasemonkey, which seems to snatch all the media attention. See this page for the differences between the two. The two features that interest me the most about Stylish:
- Impossible to execute malicious code in Stylish; in Greasemonkey, you could easily install a script that contains malicious code
- Simple updating of installed styles in Stylish; in Greasemonkey, you generally have to go back to the download page of each of your scripts and manually check for updates *yawn*
Also, the official repository of user styles for Stylish, userstyles.org, is a bit better designed that that of Greasemonkey’s, userscripts.org. userstyles.org has “most popular” and “highest rated” pages, and shows popular styles in bold. Unfortunately, both sites leave a lot to be desired. It is a major pain having to scan through tens and hundreds of unverified submissions with wildly differing code quality, tagging, presentation, etc. More advanced searching and sorting methods accompanied with stricter submission requirements (perhaps a moderated section and a free-for-all section) and better presentation would be wonderful.
I ran out of adjectives starting with “S” to describe what I believe is the very best password management solution currently available, PasswordMaker. PasswordMaker is an implementation of the on-the-fly site-specific web password hashing system.
How many accounts/passwords do you have? One for your Email? Bank(s)? Credit card(s)? Phone companies? School? Work? Utilities? Google? Yahoo? Facebook? MySpace? Amazon? Ebay? NYTimes? Torrent trackers? That annoying website that made you register just to use the simplest feature? (Oh wait, every website is like that nowadays.) I think you get the point. Even the average, casual Internet user can easily have dozens of accounts/passwords. In this day and age, computerized password management systems are absolutely necessary for even casual Internet users, and PasswordMaker is the king of password management.

Do you need an extension on a paper or report? File Destructor 2.0 to the rescue! Send your teacher/professor/boss/client an intentionally corrupted version of your work, blame everything on stupid computers, and get a free extension. ^_^
This is too funny not to share.
It doesn’t say so on their website, but I’m pretty sure File Destructor is not responsible for any consequences from using the tool (like getting kicked out of school or fired from your job O_o).

I’ve extremely satisfied with Gmail for years, but improvements after a long period of quiet, especially performance-related and IMAP features are very welcome. Unfortunately, the latest rounds of updates apparently broke a lot of third-party Gmail extensions.
