Use Mozilla Firefox’s Sidebar Option

al1r4do5Firefox has lots of neat plug-ins, but if you don’t require them and can get the same result with something more standard; it nice because it uses less resources and less resources typically mean a faster system.

A lot of people know you can drag URLs from the address bar to shortcut bar in Firefox, but I don’t think average people know about the option to optn those links in the SIDEBAR.

LEHSYS Report – February 2010

Technology is changing and the world keeps moving, and I just keep posting stuff. It’s really not that hard to do if your watching or working with stuff.

LEHSYS is doing well right now. I get bursts of traffic here and there, but all in all it’s consistent right now. LEHSYS is below the mark on traffic from last month, but my RSS feeds are up 127% AND my ranking on Alexa is below 500k now.

The bounce rate on my articles is doing well at 77% and based on more information from Alexa my visitors are spending more time on the site; which is good and tells me that people are actually reading the articles.

Digsby: Just One Stop for Instant Messaging

mxmfadvnWhen someone tries to go around and be omnipresent with the Internet and all their buddies it’s kind of hard to do when all the different Instant Messaging protocols are different. This makes it so much better when you’ve a program/application like DISGBY around to bring it all together.

It’s more than an Instant Messaging client for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, MySpace, and Jabber; it also brings together other social services like Facebook and Twitter posts.

Here’s what you can expect…

Google Joins Competitive ISP Arena

qzgxxzcwIn what seems to be a reaction to some data that was presented a few weeks ago, I think that Google has tired of dealing with the ISP’s of the U.S. and have decided to challenge them by going head-to-head, creating their own ISP.

Google continues to push forward with their aggressive position and option of what they think the Internet should be and what it should offer.

The push of Google in to this arena shows that it can be done and that the other ISP’s are just ISP HOG’s.

Google enters the Twitter arena – just better.

ezavctjzTwitter is a social enigma that is just uber-popular, but now everyone is getting in to the business of cloning Twitter.

The process is kind of confusing in its application, but everyone seems to like sharing their links and their activities.

My perspective on Twitter is it’s the best search engine in the world because it’s live, actual links, people are using are being submitted to Twitter and searches can be issued against it and most likely you can find what your looking for. And so, why wouldn’t Google be interested in this type of service?

Extensions: What Mozilla could learn from Google

Chrome screenshotFor 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.

USA and Germany say – DON’T USE INTERNET EXPLORER

Death Star Internet ExplorerIt’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?
