I’m giving Google Related Links a whirl over on the right side of this page (for the small percentage of you who are looking at “this page”). It’s probably temporary, but I’m curious to see how it works.

One of the best presentations I attended at Computers in Libraries was the Cool Tools update presented by Frank Cervone from Northwestern University and Darlene Fichter from University of Saskatchewan. The complete title was “Cool Tools for Webmasters,” but many of the tools they discussed were more general than the title implies.

They covered tools for tracking your passwords; widgets for accessing weather, maps, and Flickr photos on your desktop; web-based organizers; the Tiny URL generator; and, of course, Firefox extensions, which I’ll talk more about later.
