I found a great article on the Web Product blog listing the top 11 useful Firefox plugins for Product Managers. See full article here. They are:
1. Webdeveloper: Allows you to manipulate any web site easily.
2. Firebug: Allows you to quickly inspect and analyze the HTML code of specific parts of a website. (Can I say that I love it???)
3. Fireshot: This Firefox plugin allows you to quickly make and edit screenshots of webpages. (Excellent for Bug Reports)
4. Colorzilla: Analyze the colors of websites
5. FireSizer: Makes it possible to switch to common browser screen resolutions
6. FireFTP: Easy FTP tool ( I personally use CuteFTP)
7. LinkChecker: This one helps you to avoid broken links on your page
8. MeasureIT: Simply measure the size of an element in your page
9. SEOQuake: Answers SEO questions, such as PageRank and Keyword density.
10. Seledium IDE: Allows you to record and replay every action you do with your Browser
11. Stumbleupon: A great source of inspiration...

Social Web: 10+1 changes for 2010
Below is a great post on the expected trends in the Social Web for 2010. Top Three are:
1. Twitter becoming the leading News system. I can totally see that happening. Specially in arenas such as sports where you can have direct access to people twitting from the locker rooms which later on make their way into the sports sections.
2. Advertising Avalanche. Makes for an interesting thought with a billion people involved in the social web.
3. LinkedIn. About time this app makes it's way into being more of a social web networking. I'm always trying to figure out what is acceptable and what is not. Should be interesting to see the developments with this app in 2010.

Foursquare becoming Mainstream?
There is speculation on how successful will Foursquare be? Will it be as mainstream as Facebook? Or Twitter? We shall wait and see.
A few days ago I wrote about Foursquare and I just read that it has past the 1 million mark and adding 15,000 users a day. The company is up for sale and it was recently offered $10mm. However, this offer has been rejected. And I can see why. It has huge potential for making money. Can you imagine as stores offer exculsive discounts to Forsquare users? Or they can fill their stores during off hours? What a great way to have people come your way. And I'm sure I'm not even thinking of the apps' full potential in social networking.
I'll eagerly be following this company and it's successes. http://foursquare.com/

TwitPic! How cute - And how successful!
I just love the name Twitter and now there is TwitPic. Can you guess what you can do with TwitPic? With 9 million users and a name like that, then ofcourse you'd know. It's a service that allows Twitter users to easily share photos.
According to Mashable - "Noah Everett, founder of TwitPic recently turned down an offer “much higher than $10 million” from an undisclosed buyer, according to an interview by Andrew Warner of Mixergy. TwitPic’s growth is also an indicator of how well the service is doing. Everett says that TwitPic has almost reached 10 million users and is growing by 35 to 40 thousand users a day.: -- WOW

Foursquare a fun new app for the phone
I just found out about this new exciting app on a Linkedin Post on ISM (Intelligent Social Media). It's called Foursquare and it's a location-based social network app.
Foursquare creates a game-like environment for people to explore their surroundings using a mobile device and sharing it with their friends. You can think of it as tweeting about your environment and where you are physically as opposed to just tweeting about yourself.
Below is the blog that explains this app in detail and why this is a great idea for area businesses and why we should be using it:

End of an Era? Newsweek for Sale
I find it so sad that this informative and substantial magazine is up for sale. I hope it finds a worthy buyer that can bring it to a life it deserves. As long as I can remember this magazine has been a part of our family. The issues that stand out most in my mind are the ones around the Vietnam era. Every week a new cover in a country that did not speak English but connected us to the US culture and politics.
"As the American conversation has become harder to sum up in a single cover, that era seems to be ending. The Washington Post Company announced Wednesday that it would sell Newsweek, raising questions about the future of the newsweekly, first published 77 years ago, Stephanie Clifford reports in The New York Times."
