tossr in genuinely useful post shock horror!


What? Something worthwhile at tossr? I can scarcely believe it myself, but it’s true!

As someone who’s fallen for Netvibes in a big way (not least because, ahem, it’s the only online RSS feed reader I’ve found that isn’t blocked by the web filtering software at work), I’m finding myself increasingly ignoring Bloglines in favour of the young French upstart.

Now, as you may or may not be aware, the recently-released Firefox 2.0 has a nice feature which will offer to add an RSS feed as a Live Bookmark in Firefox, add it to the web-based aggregator of your choice or add it to your favourite computer-based reader. Unfortunately, the existing choice of online aggregators is limited, and doesn’t contain Netvibes.

So, here’s how to fix it: click this link here and you’ll be asked whether or not you want to add Netvibes as a feed reader. Click “Yes” and, as you might expect, you’ll now be able to add feeds to Netvibes from within Firefox.

Want to test it out? Step this way! Want to know more about adding feed readers to Firefox? Have a peek over here. Fancy bulking up your browser a little? Help is at hand!

This time, it’s about the eBay Auction Enhancer user script for the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox. This nifty little bit of JavaScript adds a countdown timer to eBay auction pages (as well as an in-place bid placer, although I tend not to use that so much). […]
