  • using your Google Reader subscriptions at its core, but layering on intelligence that learns from you, including your reading patterns, to personalize your information waterfall.
  • The goal? To bring a new, graphical, view of feeds, via Google Reader, and add multiple social layers on top of what's already recognized as the world's most-popular online RSS engine.
  • From the article, you can:
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • Save it for later reading.
  • Annotate it
  • Recommend it to friends
  • Send a note about the article using your Twitter acount.
  • Preview it, giving a glimpse of how it looks from the source site.
  • Due to Feedly's tight integration with Google Reader, the items in the What's New page are segmented by topic,
  • gathered from your folders in Google Reader.
  • The Wall can act as your social springboard to both shared items in Google Reader and Twitter updates.
  • Feedly has developed an extensive tie-in with Google Search and Google Reader on day one.
  • Searches for more frequent terms, like Apple and Yahoo!, had their expected 1000+ results,
  • in reverse chronological order.
  • Similar to Google Reader shared notes, you can make notes on any item within Feedly and share it on "The Wall".
  • But unlike Google Reader, you can highlight the portion you're commenting on, and make notes,
  • select the desired text, and an option comes up to either "search related articles" or "highlight".
  • selected text is in fact highlighted, and you can add a comment.
  • Tweeting an article is similarly easy
  • click "tweet"
  • opens up with the headline, an automatically generated TinyURL, and a note on how many characters I have before running out of Twitter's 140 character limit.
  • automatically shows contacts you have in your GMail address book
  • Feedly is 100% synchronized with Google Reader.
  • move a blog from one folder to another in Google Reader? You can do that through Feedly.
  • Feedly essentially brings you all the aspects of Google Reader we've grown accustomed to, but displays them in a new, friendly, visual way, while extending the feed universe out to Twitter and e-mail, and adding social elements.
  • should you get bogged down with too many updates, feeds are flagged warm or cool based on your reading behavior and how often you mark them as favorites.
  • If you're the type of RSS power user who wants to read hundreds of items through aggressive keyboard navigation, then Google Reader still can't be beat,
  • but if you want to pick the very best from the many feeds you have, share items with friends and find new sources for news, Feedly is a compelling option.

Firefox addon addon addons comparison FireFox extension memory

    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.
