  I’m a Firefox Extension Addict, and Why That’s Good for Mozilla Internet, Marketing, Software | (2)

  photo credit: Cristian Levin In the midst of all the Firefox 3 debut insanity, a tweet by blogger Louis Gray got me thinking. At the time everyone was trying to download Firefox 3, but most were failing miserably due to Mozilla's servers collapsing. Gray casually suggested in his tweet that we download Safari instead. I considered the thought, especially since Safari is also a good escape from Firefox 2's tiresome memory and CPU hogging, but then quickly realized that it was impossible. I realized then something I should have noticed long ago: I could never abandon Firefox. This isn't out of ...

  Digsby Opens Up with Public Beta, Adds Twitter & Voice/Video Support Internet, Social Networking, Software, Web 2.0 | (0)

  I've already gushed about Digsby as a potential killer for Trillian's perpetually delayed Astra release, and now it's open for everyone to try in public beta.

For the past month I've been freelancing at Daily Bits, a recently launched technology blog by Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips fame. Since Daily Bits is a technology blog, most of the work that I would have normally published here will be going there. I don't see the need to abandon this blog entirely yet though. There are still many topics ...

  Del.icio.us Link Stroll: Getting Buried is OK, Harry Chooses HD-DVD… Internet, Marketing, Software | (0)

  I realized just today that I've been religiously linking stories to my del.icio.us account for months now and never actually did much with all of that data. I mainly started using del.icio.us to serve as an easy way to share notable stories with my friends, but it's now evolved to the point where I basically just use it to drop breadcrumbs around the net. If I find something interesting that I want to refer back to or read later, my mouse goes straight to my del.icio.us button in Firefox. I thought it would be interesting to do a bit ...
