Firefox Plugin: RSS Ticker creates a news ticker comprised of your feeds! (all platforms)
May 15th
A Firefox extension called RSS Ticker turns your Firefox live bookmarks into a scrolling RSS ticker. Thats right! You wind up with an amazing bar of scrolling RSS goodness. The RSS Ticker sits below the status bar and shows your live bookmarks as they are updated. Almost every thing about RSS Ticker is customizable, like placement of your feeds, update intervals, number of feeds shown, scrolling speed,width, etc.
That’s right no more waiting to go check out the AskTheAdmin.com RSS feed – get updated information ASAP! I know this may stop some of you from dropping by the site as often – but to make our readers quality of life (tech) a little better we will risk it!
If you check your feeds any where as frequently as I do this will do wonders for you! Now your browser will check your feeds without interrupting you.
RSS Ticker is a free download for all platforms that can run FireFox. Awesome app Chris! Keep up the amazing work. [ChrisFinke]
And if you haven’t noticed that character is from a new cartoon strip called Being Five that we are syndicating at the bottom of any AtA page!

Why my new favorite web browser is FLOCK
Apr 14th
I was a hard core Netscape user before the days of FireFox and before that I was all about IE4 . (Sorry for the re-run but Kayla didn’t let us sleep this weekend!) So I have realized change is good and you live and you learn. So when I heard about Flock, I decided to give it a go. For you Face-bookers. Flickr’ers and Bloggers you can take advantage of the built in blog editor, Facebook galore in your sidebar and the ability to view yours and your friends photo streams right from Flock. Its neat, has a cool GUI. Flock is Fire Fox like but quicker and customized for what I do. I really dig it so far.
Oh did I mention it not only uses existing Firefox plugins but has its own as well??
This truly is the social web browser. There are downfalls to parts of it like no image uploading using their blogger interface but hey, this is only a beta. It does show integration with the top blogging software and has lots of new stuff I will be exploring throughout the week. If you want to give Flock a try you can grab it here.
From their website:
Flock is a social web browser based on the open source project Mozilla. It can be called a social browser, because of its tight integration with many social networking and social media services. Changing the purpose of a browser from a non-integrated window into the web to a more participatory portal to your favorite interactive sites, Flock seeks to gain significant market share by bringing your favorite social applications one step closer.
With Flock users can do many community involved activities such as uploading photos directly to Photobucket and Flickr, accessing news aggregation services, or using blogging tools. A full list of social media/networking extensions for Flock can be found here.
All In One Sidebar – Firefox Plugin
Mar 12th
See all your bookmarks, histories, downloads, extensions and more in a single pane with All-in-One Sidebar.
Hotkeys are available to switch views and control features, like you can open AiOS views in a tab instead of the sidebar. In short, it’s just a really handy tool, the kind of thing you’d hope to find built into Firefox One Day (it’s already built into Opera, which is where the author drew his inspiration).
All-in-One Sidebar costs nothing and works wherever Firefox does. And best of all this plug in allows for lots o’ customization. AtA gives it 2 thumbs up!
From The Authors Site:All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) is an award-winning sidebar control, inspired by Opera’s. It lets you quickly switch between sidebar panels, view dialog windows such as downloads, extensions, and more in the sidebar, or view source or websites in the sidebar.Click on the left edge of your browser window to open the sidebar and get easy access to all your panels.You can set the orientation to left or right, set the minimum, default and maximum width and the behavior on browser start up. Furthermore AiOS provides enhancements for many built-in features.AiOS includes a slide-out button and a toolbar, all of which can be extensively customized. Enjoy a clear browser window, more toolbar space and much more… [AIOS]
