Blog easier with 17 Firefox extensions

by Ryan Carter Jun 6th 2007

The folks at lifehack.org, (not LifeHacker.com) have cooked up the 17 best Firefox extensions that will make blogging easy. I'm sure you've seen some of these before, but just in case you haven't seen them all, they are:

There are some widely-used extensions on the list, such as ScribeFire (formerly performancing), Split Browser, Session Manager and Google Notebook, but there are some that aren't so well known, like Picnik, DocuFarm, Deepest Sender, and Tabinta. Once installed, these extensions greatly help the organization and communication of information.

Are there other extensions that should have made this list from lifehack.org? What are the best extensions that make blogging easier, fun, or enjoyable for you?

New blog comment tracking features for CoComment

by Jordan Running Jul 20th 2006

I used coComment for awhile when it was new, but it didn't take long for me to decide it wasn't really worth the trouble for me. It recently got some new features, however, that may change my tune. Marshall Kirkpatrick at TechCrunch has the scoop. In case you're not familiar, coComment makes it easier to keep track of comments you and other people make on blogs. If you see an interesting discussion going on in a blog's comments and want to keep an eye on it, or want to see if anyone has replied to your comment, you can use coComment to track the discussion. Previously, coComment only tracked comments made by other coComment users (making it not especially useful compared to competitor Co.mments), but now it tracks all comments, and furthermore it now has the ability to track conversations you haven't commented on. It also has a new "MetaConversation" feature that lets you add comments (stored on coComment's servers) to web sites that don't otherwise allow comments. coComment is free and works either via a Firefox extension or a multi-browser bookmarklet.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
