Google Preview is a New Addon for Firefox Browser

I like thumbnails of sites when I’m deciding whether or not the click the link so I think this add-on for Firefox  browser users is great.

It took all of 30 seconds to download and then after restarting the browser it was working. Now when I do Google searches the results have thumbnail images of the Websites.

The best Website to use for download is Mozilla’s (Firefox) and can be found here: Google Preview

If you still use Internet Explorer this is a good time to explore using Firefox. Biggest benefit is that it’s faster.

Winners of Web 2.0 Awards

If this is old news to you… oh well. I hadn’t seen these Web 2.0 Awards yet and for the benefit of all the other cyber-tortoises I decided to post about the awards.

The SEOmoz team reviewed thousands of sites in the Web 2.0 realm to find the best sites in each of 41 categories. Once their pool of Web 2.0 award candidates had been rounded up they put their SEOmoz panel of experts to work evaluating the sites to determine which ones were the best.

All of their results can be found here: Web 2.0 Awards

You’ll discover a lot of hot new tools that you’ve never heard of so plan on bookmarking a bunch of them and checking them out over the course of a few days.

Me.dium

Brad Feld turned me on to Me.dium months ago and at the time I had troubles with it and my ie 7.0 browser so I bailed out on using it. I hadn’t checked it out since until earlier today when I spotted a “Mom Minute” invite on the Me.dium blog. While I’m not a mom, I do have a mom and I’m married to a mom so I went ahead and crashed the Mom Minute party put on by Me.dium.

It was pretty cool! There were 20 or so moms and a few party crashers like me. I mentioned two of our new sites for moms and dads, momz TV and dadz TV, and could see via the Me.dium viewer in my sidebar several of the moms going to the sites. I got a few positive comments and hopefully one or two will send some suggestions or videos to add.

While I don’t necessarily want people tracking my every move online it’s a great tool to have when online with friends or people with similar interests. Not to mention it’s a great way to meet others with similar interests.

The download is free and can be found here: Me.dium download.

My user name on Me.dium is ‘davidc’. Look me up.
