Write Blog Posts From Inside Your Browser with ScribeFire
11 Jul 2011 by Scott Nesbitt
That seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it? Blogging from insider your browser, I mean. That’s how most people do it — go to whatever blogging site they use, log in, and start typing. But that’s not necessarily the best way. And it’s not the most convenient, either, especially if you have more than one blog. So, what is the best way? That depends on your needs. But a good...

TweetDeck for Chrome is a Flexible, Lightweight Version of its Desktop Counterpart
19 Apr 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 7 Comments
TweetDeck Desktop is arguably one of the best desktop Twitter clients for power users. It offers endless columns of information, multiple account support, and many features that Twitter itself had to copy. This app can basically do it all, and might even be getting purchased for $50 million by Twitter. My only major complaint is that TweetDeck Desktop runs on Adobe Air, and while I have no qualms ...

How to Prevent Facebook and Google from Tracking You Online
03 Jan 2011 by Brian Nelson / 2 Comments
These days it’s impossible to casually surf the web and avoid sites that use tools from Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others that make the experience more social and immersive. Still, with privacy issues at the forefront of technology news, it is worth noting that many of these social media tools make your e-life more convenient at a price – they track your behavior. In most cases, ...

Score Great Deals on Woot.com with Firefox and Chrome Browser Extensions
20 Oct 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 5 Comments
If you don’t know what Woot! is, it’s a site sells a single item each day (usually at an exciting price). There are several different versions of the site – selling things like shirts, wine, and stuff for kids - but the original Woot! is the place where most of the action happens. Every once in awhile, Woot! has a “Woot-Off”, where they abandon their usual deal-a-day methodology a...

Make Gmail into a Carnival with 0Boxer, Earn Rewards for Being Productive
07 Oct 2010 by Kevin Ivanca / 2 Comments
Time to face hard facts: Checking your Gmail inbox is not the most enjoyable thing you do during the day. To be honest, it can be quite boring, really. Reading, replying, trashing, and repeat; it never ends. Even using Priority Inbox doesn’t solve the mediocrity email sorting creates. Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually get recognition for your inboxing skills? Should...

How to Fix Chrome’s Broken RSS Feed Handling
28 Sep 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
If you’ve ever tried opening an RSS feed in Google Chrome, you may have been dismayed to find that it does a horrible job of handling them. RSS feeds (like ours) are meant to provide an easy subscription method to a website, allowing you to view your favorite websites all in one place with an RSS aggregator like Google Reader. I use Google Reader to help manage the dozens of sites I fo...

How to Install Adobe Flash Player Without Installing Adobe’s DLM (Download Manager) Browser Plugin
28 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 21 Comments
Most of us use Adobe Flash, that’s simply a fact of the internet. YouTube, Hulu, Pandora, and dozens of other sites currently use Flash to provide you with interactive media and applications, and until HTML5 (hopefully) gives us a viable alternative, we’re stuck with it in many ways. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t mind Flash. What I dislike is when Adobe starts forc...

Google Chrome: Quickly View Larger Facebook Pictures with Facebook Photo Zoom
08 Jun 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 5 Comments
Lately, I’ve realized how little I like clicking on things. When opening programs, I’d rather type a command with my keyboard than open my Start menu. If I need to open a file in a folder, I type the first few letters of its name and press the enter key. So when I’m on Facebook, I’d much rather hover my mouse over an image to see the full size than to interact with th...

Chrome Tip: How to Automatically Backup Forms and Text Areas
05 Apr 2010 by Evan Wondrasek
You know what’s the worst? Having your browser crash after you’ve almost completely filled out text areas in an online form. This is especially disastrous when submitting an online resume – you get the whole thing filled out and poof, it’s gone. If you’re using the free Google Chrome web browser, there’s an easy fix for this problem. Simply install the Lazarus: Form Recovery ext...
