After stumbling around a bit with early incarnations of their Firefox extension, the waiting paid off yesterday. The Del.icio.us folks announced their new Firefox extension and it is incredible. It blows away the previous versions with no argument (from me)!

My take: the number one improvement is that if I hilight some text on a page and then click the del.icio.us “Tag” button, that hilighted text is auto-populated in the Notes field. Yay!

If you’re a del.icio.us and Firefox user, take a moment and go download this thing. Play with it a bit. Don’t freak out over the new sidebar — it doesn’t always need to be visible (guess what I initially freaked on?). You can close it and pop it back up from the del.icio.us icon up in the tool bar. Having a quick/easy way to search tags or bookmarks is quite nice.

Odd Thought: Say, what will this do to their (they = del.icio.us of course) page views? Stats is king and this is going to cut ‘em back unless they’re counting the API calls from this extension as page views… Seriously — I’m not sure I ever need to visit the site again, I have all I need in this sidebar whenever I call it up.
