Top 9 Web Apps in your Sidebar
Firefox and Opera browsers allow you bookmarking option to open in sidebar. For Firefox, bookmark, then in properties, check “load this bookmark in the sidebar”. Opera users, just check “Show in panel” for the same result.
The sidebar ultra-handy view is great for a number of web applications:
- Google mobile view: no doubt, you’ve seen this on your phone; with search, maps, iGoogle,
youtube, calendar … what’s not to love; - Gmail mobile: in case you don’t have it in 9 other places already;
- Google mobile Reader: personal preference will tell you quickly rather you prefer your reader here or its regular spot;
- Google mobile Notebook: if you’re a researcher or web-clipper of any magnitude, the notebook belongs in your sidebar;
- gTalk: a chat client you already love
- Meebo: simplify your chat; for those times your trying to juggle your mother on MSN, friends on google and your nephew on AOL;
- Hahlo: it’s a Twitter client, designed for the iPhone, but give it a go (yes, on your PC even);
- MojiPage: designed for the mobile web; register, then see your Twitter, Friendfeed, Digg, Google search, weather, del.ic.ious, RSS reader;
- Yahoo mobile: okay, so the list is a little Google heavy; Yahoo mobile offers mail, messenger, news, address book, calendar, flickr & more
So, give ‘em a try — your favorite web apps … on the side.
