Twitterfeed and Foxmarks
Comments: 2 - Date: February 22nd, 2009 - Categories: Tech Reviews
My blog is a Wordpress blog and I have been running into issues (bugs) with my Wordpress plug-ins. The manifestation of the bug is that I can’t log into my blog — kind of annoying and a showstopper. The only way to fix it is to disable all the plug-ins. So now I’m leery of all my Wordpress plug-ins and looking for alternatives, so I don’t have to reinstall any of them. Enter twitterfeed! To keep my Twitter followers up to date on my blog posts, twitterfeed is perfect.
My other current favorite little tool is foxmarks. I have it running on my work laptop, my old work laptop, and my home desktop. It not only syncs bookmarks but also saved passwords. So I can log into my blog from my home computer with my obscure auto-generated password, even though I’ve never done it from this computer before and I don’t know what the password is.

I love foxmarks and also Evernote… between those two I can bounce between machines and still have most of my stuff with me.

You should add Dropbox to your list of cool little apps — like Foxmarks, but it keeps a folder of documents “synced to the cloud,” so you no longer need a USB stick. Works across browsers, and across platforms, including the iPhone.
