Interesting timing

So this weeks topic is Wiki and FireFox. Interestingly enough, one of this weeks big news stories, outside of Lohan's imprisonment, is the Wikileak's release of Afghan war documents. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19230-how-wikileaks-became-a-whistleblowers-haven.html

I created and used a Wiki during a class during library school. This was during a group project. If you Google me, it's still up there. In general, I like wikis. For example, Wikipedia for all it's faults, I love it still. I just haven't had to use or create one since that class. I started one on Wikispaces for those interested http://favoritereadersadvisorysuggestions.wikispaces.com Unfortunately, not a lot of work has gone into it yet.

One thing I do work with a lot at home is FireFox. What I didn't know about or at least use fully are the tools that are a part of it. This will be fun. Another thing about timing, as I was putting this post together, my husband sent me a link about FireFox and Explorer bookmarklets. They're handy dandy little shortcuts within a website. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/32_incredible_bookmarklets_chrome_firefox_safari_and_internet_explorer. Some great ones, two favorites are let me google that for you and Kittenify that turns any page images into kittens.
