Del.icio.us plugin for Internet Explorer

by Brad Linder May 14th 2008

Hot on the heels of the del.icio.us beta plugin for Firefox 3 beta, Yahoo! has released a beta plugin for Internet Explorer. While Firefox is pretty popular these days, we're pretty sure there are still more people using the IE6 or IE7 browser that came with their computer than a beta version of the open source Firefox browser. Which is to say, seriously, Yahoo! is just now getting around to this?

The Internet Explorer plugin packs most of the features of the Firefox version. That means you can search and browse bookmarks from your sidebar, view recent activity, or tag pages with a button in your browser toolbar. The plugin works with IE6, IE7, and IE8 and runs on Windows XP and Vista.

This plugin is being released as a pubic beta, which means some features may change before the final release.

People still use IE? Wow, talk about a blast from the past.

Yeah, like probably about 85% of users?

IE7/IE8 aren't too bad, and at least IE8 supports web standards. I actually like some of the features that IE includes, that I've seen usually perform a bit better than FF.

I don't understand why FF users have the need to barge in any IE articles and make fun of the browser. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Oh, and nice throwing in that piece of spam in your comment.

Actually IE7 and ( suck pretty much just as bad as the previous iterations.

And yes, I have tried out both.

In my experience IE8 offers little improvement over 7 and pales in comparison to FF3 (yes, even beta5, which I use as my default browser.)

And IE8 only passes the Acid2 test when it is done on the official domain, hmmm, suspect?

This plugin totally changes how I use Del.icio.us

I was just about to convert back to FF as I was longing for the ability to have a dynamic toolbar and shared bookmarks using this addon. It was if they read my mind. Now I don't have to give up my IE, which after switching back to FF ever so briefly, confirmed it as my desired choice - especially after customizing with inline spell check and inline search among other things.

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.
