Browser Toolbars
February 27, 2006
I am not a browser wonk, and since switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox in November 2004 because of the IE spyware curse, I have done nothing but keep my Firefox up to date, make my Onfolio tool work with Firefox, and added a single search engine (IBM Developer Works) to Firefox’s convenient search box. But one of my clients, ThomasNet.com, has come up with a toolbar to highlight its content, and it looks quite useful. It also strikes me as a good example of how to blend a user’s day-to-day habits with a publisher’s content. If you are an industrial buyer or otherwise work in manufacturing, you should check it out. If you are a publisher, I would also recommend you take a look and consider how you could merge your content with your user’s day-to-day tasks.
