When I don’t have to write access to my Thunderbird, with the plug-in for SocialMail, I like to utilize Firefox with the plug-in called Rapportive. It’s a plug-in for Firefox and chrome that replaces the ads in Gmail with user specific information and biographic information.
It links up with Facebook, linked in, and other social networking websites. It utilizes the Rapleaf social networking hub to data mine information about the contact and display that information on the right-hand side of the e-mail.
Information doesn’t show up in the grid listing of the inbox, it only shows up when you’re actually looking at the specific e-mail of that person.

It’s no secret that the developers from Microsoft for Windows Live Writer and the BLOG THIS plug-in for Firefox haven’t been keeping up with demand from the public.
It’s been over a year since the plug-in was updated. As you read through the reviews of the plug-in and you can see it’s just being completely ignored by the Microsoft Windows Live Writer team.
There’s a lot of bloggers out there that use Windows Live Writer to do their publishing, but as Firefox progresses and adds new features, the Windows Live Writer team hasn’t been placing much love on the much used plug-in; they haven’t updated it in a great while.
But now you don’t have to worry about that… there’s a workaround.

For being such a young browser and to be forced in the competition so quickly, Chrome as done well to hold it’s ground, it’s also collected a fan club of it’s own.
The browser did very well in security tests and continues to impress in the speed arena; making the Internet faster. But one of the things holding back Chrome has been extensions; something Firefox made an Internet browser standard.
But Mozilla didn’t refine the extension process. Their interface is still clunky, but Google made it better in Chrome.

It’s no secret, I have absolutely no love for Internet Explorer [I don’t care which version], but with the latest advisement by Germany, it’s showing huge impacts on the credibility of the Microsoft browser.
It was only months ago that the US government was asking NOT to use Internet Explorer. And now they’re telling you… directly.
And with the usability, performance and security again being questioned; will Microsoft start doing something?

November was a big month in the terms of traffic. It was a disappointing month in terms of performance of adverts.
I can’t say that I was too happy with the advert providers and it may not be their fault, but when you look at the traffic being up and adverts performance being lower that the last 2 months…
It’s disappointing…

I wonder when I see the stats on the usage of the most popular browser on the planet and shockingly it keeps coming back Internet Explorer; it’s simply staggering.
I’ve inquired with many sites about their trends. Some websites offer their stats right out there on the cuff; you can see everything- all kinds of stats on websites and I rarely see Internet Explorer as a dominate browser.
This just sparks curiosity… about the wisdom of those users…

This is a short post, but a valid point.
As any user out there on the web, you’ve your monitor set for something like 1680 or higher, and you’ve your fast computer and everything is just hunky-dory, but the confusing part is that most sites are only created to handle or work with 1280; that’s just the way it is- It’s sad really.
Why are people torturing themselves with these itty-bitty little images and text?
It cries stupidity and it doesn’t make any sense!

Firefox is an Internet browser that keeps it’s popularity by it’s extensibility and every once in a while you find one of the those extensions/add-ons that need to be integrated in to the browser itself.
How many times have you been browsing the web, searching through page after page, hitting NEXT for the next page, over and over?
Here’s the solution for that…
