Box.net Bookmarks Sync

Comments (4) · August 28, 2007 at 6:21 am · Bookmark Help

As if we all needed another way to backup or sync our bookmarks from computer to computer - there is now a Firefox extension that allows you to do it via Box.net and their free file hosting service.

Here are a few kind words from the creators of the Box.net Bookmark Synchronizer extension:

Backup your bookmarks! Use the Box.net Backup tool to save your favorite bookmarks online or to sync bookmarks between multiple computers.

Does this extension do anything that the others do not? No, not really - but if you have been looking for something to do with that Box.net hosting you have, this might be one way to put it to good use.

Firefox Universal Uploader

Comments off · July 13, 2007 at 9:38 am · Firefox Usability

When it comes to using some of the Online hosting systems out there, sometimes the Web interface just does not cut the case. The Firefox Universal Uploader extension hopes to change that though by giving you a much better interface to work with.

Here is a little more information about the extension:

As the name says, this firefox extension allows you to upload/download files from any website using a friendly interface. Upload files/photos/videos to Flickr, Picasa, Youtube, Box.net(1GB of free space), Facebook, Webshots and OmniDrive in this version. Next versions would support other websites like Google Videos etc. You can add multiple files to the queue at a time. Extension will take care of uploading them for you.

I think the services themselves should be releasing tools like this. I don’t think that will happen though - so until monkeys fly out of a hole somewhere on me - this will have to do.

Hosting Podcast Turns Two

Now it isn’t very often that I interject any of my other projects here on Firefox Facts, but I hope this time around can be a small exception. I am very proud of the fact that I have been podcasting for two years now via my Web hosting podcast - the Web Hosting Show.

I just posted my two year anniversary show, and I would love it if you would listen to it and let me know what you think. Think of it like Firefox Facts, but it is about Web hosting and there is a lot more talking and silliness involved.

HostMySite and Firefox

Comments (1) · October 3, 2006 at 5:00 am · Firefox News

I finally get two of my biggest loves into one news story. Web hosting and Firefox for me is like peanut butter and jelly, they just taste good together.

Web hosting company HostMySite.com (hostmysite.com) announced on Friday it contributes free, managed, dedicated hosting to SpreadFirefox, the online volunteer community devoted to promoting the Mozilla Firefox Web browser. To celebrate the two-hundred-millionth download of the Web browser, SpreadFirefox launched the Fox Tales Website (thefoxtales.com), providing users with a venue to share stories on how they promote Firefox.
