Creating Posts is as Easy as Copy-and-Post: What this means is that let's say that your are reading a great article at ESPN.com on Ron Artest's early play as a Laker. You can simply scroll your mouse over a favorite picture or blurb from the article, and click the Posterous bookmarket which creates a Short Post that looks like this (click on graphic to see full size view). From this window, you can change the title, add personal comments, refine what's included in the post, etc. The elegance of this model is that I now find myself effortlessly creating 4-7 posts a day on my Posterous blog, netgarden's posterous, versus the 2-3 posts a week that I create on my "serious blog," The Network Garden, which is more focused on long-form articles.
Lese gerade einen Beitrag, der mich auf ein kleines Bookmarklet von Posterous aufmerksam macht. Dieses Mini-Programm, das über die Favoritenleiste des Browsers gestartet wird, sollte man öffter nutzen.
Hoffentlich klappt es, denkt

by Erick Schonfeld on November 2, 2009 There is a perception that Google’s Chrome is a rounding error when it comes to browsers. And maybe it still is, but Google is now fighting that perception in a very public way. Today, it announced that the Chrome Team won a Founder’s Award for their achievements so far, and for the first time revealed how many people are using the Chrome browser: 30 million active users. Update: I guess I jumped the gun here. Google has been using that 30 million active user number since July. Now, 30 million is certainly a big number, but it is still a tiny fraction of Internet Explorer or Firefox (which has 330 million users). NetApplications shows Chrome with only a 3.58 percent market share at the end of October, compared to 24 percent for Firefox and 65 percent for IE. But remember, Chrome only launched a year ago, so that is a fast ramp by any standard. Nevertheless, Google is signaling with this award (which was previously won by the teams which created Gmail, Google Maps, and AdSense) and this figure that it is dead serious about Chrome. A few weeks ago, at a press conference I attended, CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about how Chrome was doing. Here’s an excerpt from that part of the Q&A: Q: You keep adding to Chrome and nobody seems to be paying attention. If that is one of the places where the battle is fought you seem pretty far behind. Sergey: Perhaps that is true in media . . . Schmidt: let me, some of your assumptions about Chrome adoption are wrong. The adoption rate of Chrome is [very strong]. We are going to do a better job of getting that message out. Schonfeld: Steve Ballmer calls it a rounding error, is it? Schmidt: I don’t respond to Steve Ballmer questions. Next question? The messaging has begun. Google generally doesn’t reveal user numbers for anything, so this is significant. And now it sets a precedent for Google to update the number in the future. Will it grow, and how fast? get widgetminimize CrunchBase Information Google Chrome Google Chrome image Company: Google Website: google.com/chrome Launch Date: September 2, 2008 Google Chrome is an open source browser based on Webkit and powered by Google Gears.

When you grab the first public betas of the latest software, you may find a few new features that upset you -- new ways of doing things, functionality that's been changed or moved, and new default behaviors.
This is often true of browsers and especially true of Firefox.
The team behind Mozilla's browser is constantly adding little enhancements and changes to the user interface, and not all of them are welcome. The tiny tweaks sometimes get in the way of beloved behaviors that have been around for years. Luckily, Firefox is engineered to allow you to undo those changes and otherwise customize the browser to your heart's content.
Here's our guide to customizing Firefox 3.6.
As far as I'm concerned link hinting is the best idea in browsing since tabs. How unfortunate then that Opera, the browser that introduced
tabs, has no implementation of hinting—or so I thought. In fact, a perfectly adequate hinting system has been available for Opera for over
a year as part of vimperopera. I have no interest in the rest of it, but the hinting code is easy to lift and add to an existing keyboard layout. The sun in shining. Birds are singing.
