Techie Buzz. Know Your Technology Head On.

well i just wanted to put up some firefox extensions that i feel you should use, some of these are pretty useful and can save a lot of time for you.

 ok here are some of them now

web developer toolbar (must have) 

if you are a css developer, web developer or just a site tester this is one plugin you should have installed in your firefox, this plugin can rip apart any html page with in seconds, with ripping i mean displaying all css used in the page, displaying the tables used, dom view, validating links, checking for valid xhtml and loads of more stuff.

the on feature i definitely liked is the css editor, well it lets me play around and modify the css right on the live site (it uses cached copy to update changes), so you can now just see how a site is created or modify the css to fix errors without having to leave the browser.

you can download the toolbar from here.

recently i read an article on digg where it was listed that the list of companies microsoft has aquired over a period of time but i felt another notable site should also find a mention on the list that has 87 domains as of today listed under one ip.

no wonder that company is google, you can view the list here. i am still digging for the sites yahoo has now.

 though google has not gone on a spree to but out companies, here are few of the companies either google or microsoft have bought out for their new onslaught.

writely  google

sketchup - google

onfolio - microsoft

isolatr - yahoo (they took off the bottom line that its a yahoo company the next day i read the article and say bode instead , but i still feel yahoo has bought it out) 

 you  can read the original google domains list article at my friends site .
