thing8 - firefox +++

I had already inadvertently added 2 extensions to my firefox browser (that may not be the right term for whatever firefox is) - zotero and delicious - inadvertent only in that I didn't know they were 'extensions' at the time that I added them.

When you create a delicious account in firefox you are offered a delicious extension, and I said 'yes' out of curiosity, not knowing what would show up. It's a simpler way of adding the buttons that you might want anyway (and which can be added by hand in IE by dragging and dropping in a current toolbar)such as My Delicious (i.e. straight to your bookmarks), Add a New Bookmark (from within the website you want to save), and so on e.g. managing tag bundles.

Zotero just seems to have made its mark down in the right hand corner of the screen without needing a whole toolbar to itself; it's been joined by a delicious button that goes straight to one of my accounts, and a libx button.

Zotero is fab - much easier to manage than endnote (or at least as it was last time I used it, which is more than 4 years ago and for different purposes). It provides for instant entries - and even where a website doesn't appear to have the little zotero flag in the address box, somehow you can still quickly add the relevant info just by clicking yet another button - and there are so many options to organising the contents, cross-referencing with tabs, collecting and collating pdfs, etc etc. I wish this had been around years ago!
