Create a Live SlideShow of Websites with TrailFire

Trailfire.com helps you annotate (via virtual post-it notes) and share multiple webpages with other users in one go. For instance, you can create a trail of your favorite news websites (like CNN.com WSJ.com, etc) and invite friends to follow your trail on their own computer screens.

People can add ratings, extend the trail by adding more sites or even leave comments on your annotations.


Other than the social angle, TrailFire also presents an alternate way to surf the internet where the browser consumes less memory because you scroll webpages in one window.

A lot of us dump our favorite websites in Firefox Bookmark Folders or set them as homepages and the first thing we do in the morning is load all these bookmarks in multiple tabs.

That may not be a bad approach but if you religiously check more that ten websites every morning, image the CPU usage of Firefox when so many extra tabs open up in one browser window.

TrailFire could solve that problem in an elegant way - Create a trail of your favorite or must-vist websites and then browse them inside one browser tab via the navigation arrows of TrailFire.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
