There has been several blogs that lists the best Firefox extensions that are out there. Since Pingdom are operating in the web performance and monitoring field we decided to make our own list of valuable Firefox extensions. In this list we don’t cover the well known extensions such as Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug but rather focused on “lesser known” ones that can help development and testing. Extensions that deal with HTML, CSS, SEO and design were also ignored since other blogs have already made good lists of these kinds of tools. Let’s get on to the list.

Dans un article intitulé "30 Usability Issues To Be Aware Of", Smashing Magazine recense 30 concepts et définitions que toute personne s'intéressant à l'ergonomie et à l'utilisabilité devrait connaître. Ce billet en est une adaptation en français :

Surfant sur la vague des "folksonomies", Yoono est un moteur de recherche collaboratif basé sur le partage des favoris. A la différence des moteurs de recherche classiques, la recherche ne se fait pas ici par mots-clés, mais par analogie : on propose une url à Yoono, qui nous retourne alors une liste d'urls susceptibles de nous interesser, en se basant sur l'analyse des favoris des autres utilisateurs du système.
