FireFox add-ons: Web 2.0 tools to the rescue!

One of the most valuable tools in my Web 2.0 toolbox is really a set of tools: Mozilla FireFox browser add-ons.  In this article I'd like to share a few of my favorites with you and explain why I think they are indispensable.

This video highlights why I think the freely available DimDim is one of the best and easiest to use video conferencing tools on the web. Use it to collaborate, demonstrate, or present to 20 viewers. It's all Flash based so it is platform-independent (Windows, Mac, Linux), no software to install, and free!

Despite the fact Michelle is using the same Blogger template as me, I still think her one minute video is great! Here's where I told her so.

Online video editing from any device, anywhere - that's what JayCut proclaims as their mission. In business  since 2008, it appears they still have a long way to go to live up to that ambition, but even so, JayCut on a computer offers a Web 2.0 video editing solution that doesn't depend on software or operating system.  Users can upload their own media (video, images, audio) via the JayCut interface, edit and export creations without ever downloading or installing a thing.

Pros...
What I liked about JayCut right off was its ease of use. After creating a free account I was able to start editing without having to watch the demo video or read the help file.

RSS feeds are a great way to stay informed. Much like reading a newspaper, where all the content is right there in front of you, an RSS reader keeps the stuff I'm interested in right in front of me.  For class I've been asked to share five RSS feeds I use and why I chose them.

Today I set up several iGoogle tabs to demonstrate how iGoogle can be used as a personal learning environment (PLE) as a part of my Master's degree in Education Media and Design Technology at Full Sail University. As a regular iGoogle user, I decide to incorporate the tabs into my regular iGoogle account, which I already use as my home page.
