google geek

between googling, gmailing, and google reading, i have been living in a google world.

google

i love being able twist and bend these products with all sorts of customizations to make life a little easier. i keep finding more and more goodies. here, i'll share a few:

for those of you who are both gmail and firefox users, this one might be the best. the gmail manager is a firefox add-on that alerts you to new gmail within the status bar of your browser. the days of keeping a tab open, BE GONE.

for those of you who check multiple accounts through gmail, it is now possible to respond with customized signatures tied to different addresses. this one has been really handy for me and my work email account while on the road. click here and just download the script. easy peasy.

for all of you who are addicted to google reader, like moi, don't forget the simple keyboard shortcuts that make it EVEN EASIER to read all your favorite blogs. namely, j = next item, k = previous item, v = view original

got any others you like? please share.
