Make Firefox 3's Bookmarks Available to Launchy and Quicksilver [Firefox Tip] (28)
on Lifehacker (34010) permalinkFirefox 3 doesn't store your bookmarks in the plain old HTML file that Firefox 2 did, so desktop launchers like Quicksilver and Launchy can't index them properly. But the HackCollege blog has a solution: a Firefox 3 about:config tweak that makes Firefox automatically export your bookmarks to a file.

- Leon said: was considering building a hackintosh, but now i'm sure i'm just gonna stick with a macbook pro.
- WickeD said: Indeed TH is traditionally a PC site but I wouldn't take this too seriously. The fact is Macs are more expensive if you compare the PC and the Mac in store. What you don't know is that buying a Mac gets you some of the coolest software/os ever. If you don't care - buy a PC.

Going Back to School: Picking Up Where Facebook Left Off (3)
on TechCrunch (24223) permalinkBack when Facebook was a social network only for college students, one of the most popular features was the ability to see not only who was in your class, but who else was taking the same courses as you. (It must have been great for coming up with insightful pick-up lines). Facebook did away with that feature as it broadened beyond the college market. But now another startup is looking to fill the void that ...

Solzhenitsyn (1)

- Jim said: Finally!! Very happy now that I decided to integrate these into my blog rather than start over from scratch.
- Unseen said: switch to old del.icio.us asap ppl!!!
- Randy said: The new del.icio.us (now known as simply Delicious). I've just started to play with the new interface, and it's pretty slick. I fucking hate how they changed to delicious.com, though--I've used the service for years, and typing "del.icio.us" just flows, although I acknowledge the fact that people do not know how to spell.
