Twitter snags Summize
Please keep the fail whale away from Summize, their search has been the only thing keeping Twitter usable (for me) these past few months. Here’s hoping the “Replies” tab just turns into a Summize search for @username. Ooh, and how about letting us customize that “Replies” tab search string? ![]()
Shortwave Firefox Search Plugin
While Safari allows you to access individual Bookmarks Bar items with Apple + [1-9] keyboard shortcuts Firefox sadly does not offer an analog.
