Bookmarklets, in case you’re not familiar with them, are bookmarks that perform a specific action. I can’t live without these because they speed up my day, especially when you use them with browser keywords. Here’s a list of some new ones that I have started to use in the last few months. Just drag these to your bookmarks/favorites bar and you’re good to go. For more fun with bookmarklets, be sure to also check out Blummy.
