• FoxGLove is Firefox for Google addicts - Download Squad

  The browser is based on the portable version of Firefox, which means you can run it without messing up your normal Firefox settings. You can also run it from a USB flash drive. At first glance, the browser looks a lot like Google Chrome, thanks to the ChromiFox theme. The home pages have been set to Gmail, Google Reader, and Google Docs, and there are bookmarklets that will open GTalk, Google Calendar, or Google Notes in your sidebar. But that’s just the start.

• Feed Analysis v1.1 Analyzes Your FeedBurner Feeds

  The number of subscribers is very useful for bloggers to determine the popularity of their blogs. Yet, blogger like me may hope that the FeedBurner stats can tell us how fruitful our effort results without much analytical calculation on our own. As such, I developed Feed Analysis which can provide bloggers, with the aid of beautiful interactive charts, a more detailed report and analysis from our feeds.

• Joe The Plumber’s Landing Page

  But one problem nags at me. Local merchants like “Joe The Plumber” usually don’t have a web presence and many don’t really even want one. But if you are going to buy cpc advertising, then you’ll need a place for the clicks to go. The local ad agencies and local oriented web services are happy to create a web presence for local merchants, but they are often poorly designed and there’s no standardization of them.
