Mining Gear: Recommend Firefox Plugins for All You Miners

Here is a quick list of the the two pieces of mining gear that can make your work here in the Granola Mine a little easier

ScribeFire - This allows you to take any page's elements and start blogging about it. Basically, you can take text, images etc. and then add your two cents here at the Mine.

Zemanta - This helps mark up your pages with creative commons images, related stories, suggested tags. Fills out light content pretty well, in an SEO friendly kind of way.

DashBlog - This is an alternate to ScribeFire that some folks like. I haven't used it yet. But one of the cool features is it can take a screenshot of the page you are on and create a posting around the screenshot.

All good stuff. Scribefire is perfect for establishing a post on the fly, but this post had help from DashBlog using the screencap function. Fun for playing peekaboo with Denise Milani's booty. Now to learn Zemanta...

Yes. And DashBlog allows one to annotate the screen shots as well.
