bookmarklets are smart links: instead of pointing to pages, it runs simple scripts. Used wisely, it’s a huge timesaver.
.
to use it, simply drag the titles to your bookmarks bar.

EMAIL

Composes an email with the info of the page you’re currently browsing: subject is the page title, body is page title + link. A godsend.
.
It breaks if the title uses ampersand.

TWITTER

Same as above, but as a popup to your twitter post page. Link is minified automatically. You gotta be logged in tho.

MOODBOARD

Opens a query popup, you type your term and it builds a spezify moodboard for you. Good for quick inspiration needs or if you wanna check art/fashion/design terms.

LATER

Saves the page to instapaper. If you want, you can even install the iphone app to read on your commute: no interruptions. You need to setup an account tho.

READABILITY

Cleans cluttered article pages: just the content, please.

SELECTOR

That’s for webdesigners: It allows you to click on page elements and give you info about it (classes, etc). Good for reverse engineering.
.
PS: Safari has a nifty keyboard shortcut: command/control + 1 opens the first link, command/control + 2 opens the second, etc. If you keep same order it makes life even easier.
.
Firefox works differently: you can setup keywords under link properties (option/right-click), and if you type it on the address bar and hit enter, it opens the link.

this was a google reader note but I decided it was too good so I reposted.

Internet is a two-way, dialog media. marketers insist in one-way, monolog discourse because they want control. It won’t fly.

2

Information consumes attention: the more information we have, the less attention to share. Interruption is the new pornography.

We’ve seen what you did to mass media: eating it from the inside and leaving out a bloated corpse. thanks, but no thanks.

Cool - if useless - scripts I collected and used over the years. Because it’s useless to have socks if you can’t find it.
