Often you may come upon a website you wish to add to a web 2.0 resource like Diigo, Delicious, Evernote, Livebinder, ReadItLater, Instapaper, Shareholic, etc. On a computer browser, you can install extension toolbars to make quick work of it, but not so easily on the iPad. Not wanting to relegate the iPad to a…
I was very excited to see Google release an Android version of Google Docs on Wednesday (Support Page and Marketplace Link). Many of the limitations seen in using iPad to access Google Docs apply with this app as well: creating/editing a doc is mostly limited to text, nothing complex. While I can view and edit…
When the iPad was first released, it didn’t take long to realize Web 2.0 tools are important for the iPad to have any semblance of productivity. One early hole, though, was Google Docs/Google Apps.

Choosing a single browser to cover all needs on the Internet is getting harder and harder. Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and other browsers each have their own advantages and unique features. Using multiple browsers is not just a power user game anymore–it is becoming more of a necessity for everyday users, yet…
Many utilities and add-ons are written specifically for Twitter, but there are two Firefox add-ons–not Twitter specific–that I find invaluable as timesavers.
