Bookmarklets for this century
2004-08-30 21:05 - Web
Bookmarklets are not a new thing. The basic concept is that modern browsers have the ability to run a whole programming language (JavaScript) inside them, and that you can trigger little JavaScript programs to run by clicking on a link. Like a bookmark. So you can keep little scripts in your bookmarks and fire them up whenever you find them useful.
But, there's a site out now that has some really really amazing bookmarlets around. It's called Jesse's Bookmarklets Site. I'm quite impressed by the zap plugins, force wrap, edit styles, go to referer, and up bookmarklets. And more. If you are a tech head, and even if not, these things can make browsing the web way better!
