Simpy Chichimichi

Do you use Firefox? If you do, read the following.

If you haven't used Andu's Firefox extension for Simpy before, I'd describe it as a Firefox extension that makes both saving and searching of your Simpy bookmarks directly from Firefox very simple, smooth, and natural. If you are using Andu's Simpy extension, you will not need Simpy bookmarklets. Besides saving and searching, you can also quickly get to your profile page, to Simpy front page, you can see Simpy's link history for the page you are on with a single click. This extension also adds the "right-click" context menu items that let you bookmark to Simpy with ease.

Andu just released a new version of his Firefox extension for Simpy. This new version is waiting to get listed on the Mozilla Add-on site, but while we wait for it to appear there (it looks like it could take a while - weeks), you can install the extension directly from Andu's announcement post. Just save that simpy.xpi file on your computer and then open it with your Firefox browser by going to File -> Open file menu. This version works with both Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.*.

The new version has some nice changes - it installs both the link and note search plugins for Firefox (see also: Firefox 2.0 Open Search Discovering Simpy), has prettier icons, the installation process automatically puts some of the icons in your existing Firefox toolbar -- this is important -- this extension doesn't add yet another toolbar to your browser and does not consume more of your valuable screen space!

The full Changelog is available from Andu's announcement post. Thank you, Andu!
