Natural Blogarithms

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:

1. Open the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks…)
2. In Firefox 2, in the File menu, select New bookmark… In Firefox 3, press Organize in the toolbar and select New bookmark…
3. Enter a name, http://www.google.com/reader/i/ for location, and ensure to check Load this bookmark in the sidebar.
4. Press Save Changes and now you can select the bookmark to load Google Reader in the sidebar.

Try it out. It’s handy.
