Email This! coming to SongBird!

First off, HAPPY NEW YEARS from everyone at Lazyrussian (Me, Myself, I and Boris). Ok, ok, their is no Boris….lol.

Second, the people over at songbird (http://www.songbirdnest.com) have asked me to port my extension to their interface. For those of you who don’t know what Songbird is, it’s a cross-platform piece of software that mashes a media player and internet browser together - sort of like combining iTunes and Firefox into one program.

Anyway, apparently the songbird developers and songbird community has voted my extension is one of the “Top 40 Most Desirable Extensions”. - SWEET!

Check out the list of the top 40 here: http://songbirdnest.com/top40

Alright, the next update I make (hopefully soon) should be when I successfully complete porting this extension over to songbird.

Ya, that’s right, Email This! v2.1.3 should have songbird support!

YahooThis! Works Again!

I received an email today informing me that Email This! for Yahoo works again. My initial assumptions were right. It was a problem that only Yahoo could fix. I’m glad to hear it’s working again.

I double checked it myself to make sure - everything is fine

Issue with YahooThis!

It has come to my attention that there is noan issue with YahooThis! compatibility with the Yahoo Online Mail Client. A new compose page still oepns up but the subject line and body of the new email are not filled in with the appropriate information.

I’ll try to fix this problem as soon as I can but I am currently in the middle of finals (for the next 14 days), so I don’t have too much time.

Sorry for the inconvenience (blame Yahoo).

P.S. - Get GMail!

Definr - Best Online Dictionary Out There!

There are a lot of Web 2.0 applications out there, but Definr became one of my favorites last week because I had to take the GREs…

Anyway, Definr prides itself on being the fastest online search engine, finding words and definitions as you type. A firefox extension is also available, allowing you to perform lightning fast searches from any web-page.

This nifty website saved my *** while I was studying for the verbal portion of the GREs. They provided me with an additional 5-10 words per definition (synonyms). I probably saved a whole second every time I used definr (instead of dictionary.com) for a search! (AWESOME)

Downside: Only 2 of the ~1000 words I memorized showed up. (That’s more of a personal downside. There’s no real downside for a website - it’s the simplest website I’ve ever come across)

Definr can be reached at www.definr.com

I still have to figure out how to use words like lugubrious, salubrious, and aver.

Email This! Version 2.1.2 Released (eMusic Update)

An Email This! user asked me to make this extension compatible with eMusic, an online music subscription service that incorporates Mozilla (XUL) technology in their application (That’s how this extension is compatible with their software).

Quick excerpt about eMusic from wikipedia:

EMusic is an online music store that operates by subscription. It is headquartered in New York, New York, and owned by Dimensional Associates, LLC. As of March 2007 eMusic has over 250,000 subscribers, which makes it the largest subscription-based online music store.[1]

EMusic differs from other well-known subscription music services (such as Napster and Rhapsody) in that the files available for download are in the MP3 format, making them fully compatible with all digital music players, and free from digital rights management software restrictions such as expiration dates, or copying or CD burning limitations.

While lauded by many, the lack of digital rights management (DRM) encoding and low price model have made the service unappealing to the Big Four record labels, leading it to specialize in underground artists and non-mainstream music genres, including indie rock, pop, jazz, electronica, new age, underground rap, traditional music, classical music, and experimental music, all on independendent labels.

Here’s what’s new in this version:

Version 2.1.2 (December 2, 2007)
1. Extension is now compatible with eMusic

Download
Download from Lazyrussian (Official Release - All Browsers) - Version 2.1.2
Download from Mozilla (Firefox) - Version 2.1.2
