I wish I’d thought of that.
Thanks to a post in LifeHacker, I have set up a few bookmarks in Firefox that will open in the sidebar. I recently discovered the trick of opening links in the sidebar but I did not think to use mobile apps such as the new iphone app in Google Reader.
Some other mobile web apps that I am likely to use include:
- Digg: http://digg.com/iphone
- Facebook: http://iphone.facebook.com
- Twitter: http://m.twitter.com
- Facebook Chat: http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php
- Remember the Milk: http://m.rememberthemilk.com
- Wikipedia: http://wikipedia.comoki.com/
If you want more suggestions to things to stick in your sidebar, go straight to apple for some ideas: http://www.apple.com/webapps/index_top.html
The “how to” comes from Mozilla Links
And it’s pretty simple:
- Open the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks…)
- In Firefox 2, in the File menu, select New bookmark… In Firefox 3, press Organize in the toolbar and select New bookmark…
- Enter a name, http://www.google.com/reader/i/ for location, and ensure to check Load this bookmark in the sidebar.
- Press Save Changes and now you can select the bookmark to load Google Reader in the sidebar.
Try it out. It’s handy.
