Smart Digg Button for Firefox

Smart Digg ButtonSee that little number in the bottom right-hand corner of this screenshot? Yep, that number tells you how many votes a recent DownloadSquad story got on Digg.

Smart Digg Button is a new Firefox extension using the recently released Digg API.

Once you install the extension, a little box shows up at the bottom of your browser window. If you're viewing a page that has not already been submitted to Digg, you'll have the option of submitting it yourself. If you visit a site that's already been dugg, you can see at a glance how many votes the page has received.

Other social bookmarking sites including Furl, Reddit, and StumbleUpon have their own Firefox add-ons that serve a similar role. But now you can have the complete set.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
