Bookmarklets to Speed Up Web Browsing & Blogging



I am currently using the following bookmarklets (or favlets). Just drag these links to your browser bookmark toolbar and you are done. If you have never used bookmarklets before, here's a quick video tutorial on how to install Bookmarklets to your Browser.

post to del.icio.us - tag the current webpage and save it to del.icio.us.

coComment! - Click the coComment button before submitting your comment on a supported blog - coComment will copy your comment and list it in the "your conversations" page on coComment.

Watch It! - I use ChangeNotes to monitors web pages and this bookmarklet quickly adds the current website to my watch list.

Sphere it ! - Sphere is a new blog search engine that returns webpages related to the content of the current webpage.

TinyURL! - Creates a short URL of the page you are currently at. Useful when you sending someone a lengthy link by email.

Technorati This - Helps you find who is linking to the current page or blogging about the selected text on Technorati.

[toread] - ToRead.cc sends the current webpage to your email inbox with all the formatting and layout intact.

Furl! - Save the current webpage to Furl .

GMail This! - Select some text on the webpage and click the GMailThis bookmarklet to compose a new GMail message in a new window.

Blog This! - If you have a blog on blogspot.com, this bookmarklet is for you. BlogThis! is an easy way to make a blog post without visiting blogger.com. Clicking BlogThis! creates a mini-interface to Blogger prepopulated with a link to the web page you are visiting, as well as any text you have highlighted on that page.

Earlier, I also had some bookmarklets to add feeds with autodiscovery tags in Newsgator and Bloglines but now I use Google Toolbar for subscribing to feeds.

1. Bookmarklets for iPhone and iPad
2. Bookmarklets for Chrome, IE and Firefox

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include
