For years I’ve wanted a place where all my favourite websites were right in front of whenever I opened a window. I’m even too lazy to click on ‘bookmarks’ – and if they WERE actually bookmarks, you know, little folded down icons on mini-windows, I’d probably go for it. But they aren’t – bookmarks have pretty much stayed the same since the dawn of Netscape…
Speed Dial for Firefox, on the other hand, IS the answer. I was also envious of my friend Sean who created, in HTML a page that his browser defaulted to, spliced into 4 quadrants with categorized links in each.
I was also always really envious of those traders and stock-brokers and I don’t mean because of their money or all those dogs for friends, I mean because they have 12 screens in front of them bringing all their information together. One of my favourite pictures of KK is him infront of this conflagration of content.
Speed Dial is a one click dynamic collector of links, arranged in thumbnails (which you can have refresh live) in a grid. One click and you’re there. It’s highly customizable and really really easy to use – I’m totally hooked. Sean, you built it – and one day recently, they came.
