I have been sharing a lot of my posts and articles on MySpace lately to get a few more interested readers coming in, and after a long search I ran into one problem. Yes, MySpace has the "Post to MySpace" feature now that makes sharing URLs from other non-MySpace sites easier. The problem is nobody has written a bookmarklet for it yet.
Well, that was the case till I figured I would give it a shot. Drag and drop think link on to your bookmarks toolbar:
Add to MySpace!
To cover all my bases, here is what you do - depending on the browser you use:
Firefox - Drag and drop the above link to your bookmarks toolbar or right-click the link and select "bookmark this link".
Internet Explorer - Right click on the link above, and select "add to favorites".
Safari - Drag and drop the link to your bookmarks toolbar.
I hope this helps out anybody else looking to quickly share interesting articles and sites with your friends and stalkers on MySpace. If anybody wishes to be my bud - you can find my MySpace profile and add me there!

I have been playing with a number of start pages these days, and I have to say I am about ready to make a switch. It seems like over time iGoogle seems to be getting slower to load. I don’t have many things on it - maybe four thingies, widgets, gadgets.
So now I am looking at some of the competition and I have to say only one has impressed me thus far.
Netvibes is becoming king of the start pages, if you like customization, speed and cool tools to use. Now I don’t need a lot to get going - but it is nice to see they have tons of tools to add.
What does Netvibes Have that iGoogle Does Not?
- More Customization Options for the Web Page
- Quicker Loading Times Overall
Only reason I can see for using iGoogle is to use their specialty gadgets for Gmail and Google Reader. So am I making the right choice? Is there one that even blows Netvibes out of the water?

There is more than one way to subscribe to web pages and get the latest updates and news. Firefox itself can even become an RSS feed reader if you install the right extension. Now which extension is right for you?

With Firefox 2 coming out today, you might be wondering what to do with it next. You got it, but how can you make it better, faster, stronger? I’ve been updating Firefox Facts with launch coverage today, and as always you can expect a lot of extension reviews, themes and much more. To celebrate the launch I also updated the style of the Web site as well. Also, don’t forget to download the free Firefox Facts eBook! No installation of Firefox is complete without it.

Now I love Firefox as much as the next person, but isn’t this chart from Read/Write Web’s Review of Firefox 2 a little misleading?

Well, it looks like there is another browser getting ready to pounce on the compeditors in the war for your surfing attention. Swift is a Web browser for Windows based on the Apple WebKit rendering engine. From somebody who has never even used and Apple (I’d rather eat them) here are my thoughts.
Well first things first, it didn’t stay running long. After going to about two or three Web sites, it just died on me. That isn’t so cool. The inteface needs some work, but I am sure a polished look will come in time. One more thing that really gets me is there is no right-click menu! This might be some sort of Apple thing, but if you are going to have a program on Windows, I need my right-click menu.
Overall, I think in the future it might be great - but this release shouldn’t be people’s first impressions of it. They should have held off a little while longer till they got it at least fully usable. Download it for yourself, and let me know what you think!
