This new Firefox add-on is oh so del.icio.us

by Chris Gilmer Apr 6th 2007

Our favorite online bookmarking tool, del.icio.us, has just announced the release of a hot new Firefox add-on. Ok, so it's not too hot, apparently del.icio.us quietly released this one to the public a little while ago but just decided now to update it and let everyone know about it now.

The del.icio.us Firefox add-on allows users to create, manage, and search all bookmarks right in the browser bar. The big noticeable change is the speed. del.icio.us has bumped up the power and greatly increased the rate at which bookmarks can be made, read and accessed. Users now have full control over their synced del.icio.us accounts with tagging abilities inside Firefox.

del.icio.us is a great way to store all of you bookmarks in one location that can be accessed anywhere you are. This is a great improvement that old users are going to be thankful for, and will hopefully encourage more people to try their great bookmarking service out. Check out the tour of the new features here.

I love the interface of this but it's SO SLOW for me. When I click on the icon it takes two full seconds to actually pop up. I really wish I could use this, but it's just not practical. :(

So it's getting closer to Opera, good, very good.
Hopefully they go above and beyond though, so the competition will make it even better.

I really didn't like the fact that it try to take over your default firefox bookmarks, stealing its keyboard shortcut and menu without the option to change it! (you can hide your firefox menu but not the del.icio.us menu!?)

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
