Just announced on the Efficient Academic Google group is this “Link Blog” on the 101 Best Teaching Resources. An interesting source of ideas and worth keeping an RSS feed on.

Richard McManus of the Read/WriteWeb blog has published an article on Firefox browser add-ins which includes the top ten list, links to reviews of the “officially” recommended add-ins and some discussion of what will be coming in Firefox 3. Comments give lists and links to other add-ins.

My personal list of addons that I use every day: - ScribeFire addin for blogging. - The del.icio.us addin for tagging web pages. - The del.icio.us Bookmarks replaces Firefox bookmarks with del.icio.us bookmarks. - Google notebook addin. - Delegate To Todoist – moves tasks from gmail to on-line to-do list.

Web development tools: - FireBug XHTML/CSS/Javascript/HTTP browser debugger. - The WebDeveloper addin. - IEView “View this page in IE” - ColorZilla – eye-drop tool to measure colours (returns CSS colour values) - MeasureIt – on-screen pixel ruler for measuring element sizes. - Validaty – validates current web page - View Source with external editor.

Addins that are installed but net yet used in anger: - Clipmarks - Zotero – bibliographic data manager - Greasemonkey JavaScript engine for controlling the browser.
