FireFox 1.0 Review

It is more than a month I am using the 1.0 release. It is performing well.

It is fast, never crashed so far hence stable and scalable. I have added few Add ons to the browser and some of them are really cool. I liked the one particularly which adds small icon like preview of the web sites in the Google search. It throes some light on if the page you will pen is likely go show up what you are looking for on not.

It works well with all the services I use like YahooGroups, Gmail etc.

During last month I got an opportunity to talk to lot of students in Nasik. I delivered two lectures on “Future of pen Source” and I strongly promoted FireFox in those lectures.

Photo Hosting with flickr.com

I found this interesting photo hosting service while browsing a photo competition yesterday. It is called as flickr.com. It has features like tagging and grouping ages into sideshow and efficient search using multiple tags.

We can use this to blog several different blogger servers too. It comes with a upload tool which also appears to be efficient.
