Google Translate - Firefox addon bartab vs toomany tabs - 0 views

Firefox addon addon addons comparison FireFox extension memory

shared by LeisHowI on 12 Jul 10 - Cached

    My attempted translation. BarTab: There are two key points which I'll explain using some scenarios. 1. If the many tabs were left open from a previous firefox session, it would take a long time when you reopen firefox. 2. When using firefox, we sometimes end up opening a whole lot of pages. This in turn consumes a lot of memory, causing lag to occur in firefox. (Copied) BarTab can solve these problems 1. When restoring tabs from a previous session is set to put them on my bar tab 2. When I don't visit a tab for a while, set to put it on my bar tap after x hour / minute / second Time can be set TooManyTabs BarTab is more convenient since it's automated. I feel that TooManyTabs is more like an addon meant to manage pages/tabs. Although it also does function as a memory saving tool. This is done so manually; where one has to select a page to be placed into the TMT placeholder. They way it does this is through capturing pages and turning them into bookmarks; and thus releasing memory. To reload a tab, one has to select the 'column' in which the page that was placed in TMT resides, and then again clicking on that page to re-open it. This manual method of reopening pages, as compared to BarTab, is less convenient or intuitive. 'Situitation method'? Because of the way it is used, I think it is more suitable as a tool that operates more like ReaditLater. With the function: page history and cateogory management. This is the advantage of using TMT; something that BarTab cannot do. 'from this point of view, they can actually be counted as different tools??' So really, there's no real problem even if you choose to you both simultaneously. You can simply choose what you want based on your needs.

shared by LeisHowI on 21 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Compared to Twitter it’s similar but different. Most of all Plurk doesn’t cease to introduce innovations.
  • post is about: differences and new features.
  • updates (plurks) appear on a horizontal timeline
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • scroll through the timeline you will pass date borders and scrolling over a plurk you’ll see exactly when it was posted.
  • timeline can be filtered for all plurks, my plurks, private (plurks only you received) or responded (plurks you responded to).
  • Updates appear as small previews with a minimized profile photo on the left and the number of replies on the right.
  • To view the whole post you move the mouse over the preview and to view replies you click on it.
  • biggest difference to Twitter
  • there are actual conversations going on since replies are associated with the original update
  • comments are not lost within a long list of chronical updates.
  • next best difference to Twitter. Plurk recognizes links to YouTube, Flickr, TinyPic, ImageShack, and Photobucket and includes them in your update.
  • Plurk now offers status updates for Twitter, Friendster, Facebook, and Multiply.
  • Unfortunately, the integration is only one way

Zoundry Raven vs Live Writer: Fight! « Scott's Windows Live Ramblings - 0 views

features guide comparison blogging blog client Windows Live Writer Zoundry Raven

shared by LeisHowI on 21 Jul 10 - Cached
  • in Live Writer, if you omit the http:// from your blog address, it will add that for you, ZR doesn’t. ZR also detects this blog incorrectly as being “Wordpress (ver 2.1 or ealier [sic])” whereas this blog is actually Wordpress 2.9.2, so almost there, but not quite.
  • Live Writer also downloads the blog’s theme so that you can edit your post as it would appear in your blog (ZR offers this, but in a slightly different way, see later).
  • there is a difference in how much is offered to each blog. Live Writer pips this due to the extra XHTML, Right To Left support, plug-in support, turning on script and embedding support
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Live Writer, it downloads the blog’s theme automatically and offers this as default, so straight away as soon as you start writing your blog post, you’re already looking at the style your blog has:
  • ive Writer’s theme detection has, since the very beginning, been very good at grabbing the theme and formatting it [almost] perfectly within the editor window.
  • where things start to fall down for ZR, when it started to get my theme it ultimately failed with an error:
  • the big difference comes in and swings this more towards Live Writer. As noted above with the themes, Live Writer lets you actually write your blog post as if you were writing in your actual blog, this means you can get the layout just how you want it.
  • ZR does offer WYSIWYG editing, it’s not quite up to that same standard of “cool.”
  • One thing that ZR does have for post editing that has been requested for Live Writer is tabbed support.
  • both editors let you insert images into your blog post and arrange the post where you want them to go, you can create thumbnails of the images.
  • However, Live Writer does come into its own when it comes to editing the image. ZR offers your basic properties of an image, adding alt tags, etc:
  • although at least ZR will let you [in a roundabout way] edit the name of a pasted image, rather than just having Imagex.png. You also can’t insert a web image easily in ZR, although for Wave 3 on Windows 7, neither can Live Writer, not without a plug-in.
  • Live Writer on the other hand has a multitude of different things you can do with the image:
  • crop the image, rotate, tilt, add effects, etc.
  • plug-in architecture in Live Writer for 3rd party developers to write enhancements for it, adding further functionality so that you can do a whole multitude of things. This just simply doesn’t exist in ZR.
  • With ZR, even having done added a blog template, it still doesn’t actually let you write your blog post using that theme, it only lets you preview it using that theme:
  • Another nice feature that ZR has over Live Writer (although quite why this isn’t in Live Writer is beyond me) is search and replace!
  • , there is already one feature that rocks for Live Writer, and that is the split post feature.
  • insert a split into your post, it means anything above it will appear on your front page, and everything else will appear once you’ve gone to the full article.
  • providers are now supporting it (wordpress, Community Server, blogger, to name a few).
  • Save as draft
  • acking in ZR,
  • Through its plug-in architecture, developers have been able to add extra functionality to Live Writer, like Flickr support, ImageShack (of sorts), uploading non image files, and various other services.
  • ZR, however, does this out the box, this is quite cool, especially if you want to keep all your images (blog or otherwise) in one central place, rather than split across different services.
  • Live Writer offers video support for YouTube, both the browsing, and uploading, of videos, right from within Live Writer
