Firefox: Cool Add-Ons for Every Socialite

About some cool add-ons I use in the Firefox web browser for all of my social-networking needs.

Hey, all.

If you’re like me, you have a vast number of social networking sites, but no time to update all of them constantly.  That’s why these add-ons are a MUST.

First off, I’ll tell you about an add-on where you can update, blog, upload media, and more with only inputting the information once.  This add-on is called Pixelpipe.  Pixelpipe can upload movies, pictures, audio, and text to about every social site.  If I were to add a video, I can upload the video, write in the title, description, and tags, and then check some boxes that will send it to video sites like Blip.tv, Dailymotion, Vimeo, YouTube, and more.  I can do the same with pictures, sending them to Flickr, Picasa, Imageshack, and my blogs.  The same can also be done with audio and text.

That’s just media.  What about blogging?  You can blog to different blogs on different websites at the same time.  Upload to big blog sites such as Wordpress, Blogspot, and Tumblr.

Microblogging and status updates?  You betcha.  Microblog to Twitter and Plurk, and, at the same time, send your microblog as a status update to MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, and others.

So all this is great.  It’s free.  Find it at http://www.pixelpipe.com .

Next, is the Shareaholic add-on.  It’s quite similar to the Pixelpipe add-on, but only used for sharing websites with your friends.  Share a link on these many sites like Bit.ly, Buzzster!, Bzzscapes, Delicious, Digg, Evernote, Facebook, Foxiewire, Google Reader, LinkedIn, MySpace, StumbleUpon (more on StumbleUpon next), TBUZZ, Twitter, and Yahoo! Buzz.  So, Pixelpipe for links.  And Shareaholics.

Check it out at http://www.shareaholic.com .

So, you’ve got everything to share everything.  Now, give your friends an insight into what you like.  Get the StumbleUpon add-on/toolbar.  It’ll ask you what you’re into, and find things you’re gonna like.  And simple Thumbs Up for I liked it and Thumbs Down for Don’t show this kinda crap again.  Go get it at http://www.stumbleupon.com .  You’re gonna love it.

StumbleUpon is great for finding things you like, but you find things you like on your own too, right?  Just get the Delicious add-on.  Delicious allows you to bookmark things and let your friends see what you liked and bookmarked.  Go get it at http://www.delicious.com .

So, that’s all I have for you social freaks.  If you don’t have Firefox, you’re crazy.  If you do, go get these add-ons, ASAP.  Make your life pure social nirvana.  Let’s go catch some social waves, brah.
