tips and tricks

[Atomic1fire]

SimpleMail
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5593
Email Client made of xul much like thunderbird but instead has the advantage of being accessible and small
being that its an extension and not a full program

greasemonkey
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
extension that can manipulate websites via user contributed javascript useful for creating new features in places like google search or redisigning sites like gmail

chatzilla
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16
Irc client in firefox useful because you may like irc but may not want to download a full program or rely on a website

Sameplace Suite
Download | SamePlace
(reason I didnt link to the mozilla.org page is because it would be listing 2 links because it requires 2 extensions xp4moz and sameplace)
Firefox Jabber Instant messenger client
Useful because it can do gtalk or any other jabber account and you could probably setup aim/yahoo/msn transports for all your other IM needs via the server browser

Feel free to modify for any other extensions

1.Create a polished profile
A well crafted and a clear profile always helps. Be specific and to the point about who you’re and what you want like Sherpa mentions I’m looking for a job in PR in NY and currently I’m working in this industry.
2.Join Network
Mention your area in your profile and you’d automatically be a part of that network. For e.g. if you’re a startup owner in the Bay Area and are on the look-out for VCs such for any funding/investor groups in Silicon Valley and start conversations with group members.
3.Join Groups
To connect with members in a particular area and to build your own credibility join groups/communities and communicate your thoughts in the groups. Connect with local/global groups. Limit is upto 200.
4.Post relevant content
Give people links which describe you, your work. For e.g. your blog, your website (if any), media attention, domain blog, fav. domain books etc.
5.Create your own group
Position yourself as a manager/admin and a leader per se with control over your content and reach out to your members by creating an enticing group with a topic that interests you.
6.Interact with others
Socializing is the key to Facebook. There are several ways to socialize:
- Buy virtual gifts for other members
- Play games with them
- Give them a virtual “poke” to get their attention
- Start a new topic in the “discussion board”
- Comment on their profiles if they’re in a group
- Post something to The Wall
7.Extend relationships outside of Facebook
Take conversations offline. Talk to people outside facebook maintain relationships with them.
8.Aim for long-term relationships
Consistency and patience is the key for Facebook marketing.
9.Brand-Building with Facebook applications
Project the image of your brand by adding third party applications/creating third party applications for Facebook.
10.Buy some adverstising
Facebook Flyers Basic allows marketers to buy and create banner-like advertising on networks.
11.Select your advertising targets
As a strategic marketer choose your target audience on the basis of:
- Keywords in their profiles
- Declared political views
- Relationship status
- Education status

1. Duplicate this tab
You visit a page and you want to read it later. For the moment, you want to go back to the previous one. What do you do? Copy the address of the page, create a new tab and paste the URL in the address bar. In Opera you just click Duplicate. The new tab will also duplicate the history.
2. Go to URL
You see a web address in a page, but it's not hyperlink. How do you visit the web page? You copy it and paste it in address bar, then press enter. In Opera, select the address, right-click and select "Go to URL".
3. Reload every 30 seconds
You go to a site that shows the live score of a baseball match and it doesn't reload periodically. So you'll have to press F5 every 30 seconds to see the score. In Opera, select "reload every 30 seconds".
4. Fit to window width
Nobody likes the horizontal scrollbar in a page, but some webmasters don't bother to view their sites at different resolutions. In Opera, select "fit to window width" to remove the horizontal scrollbar and shrink the content.
5. Rewind
You search for something at Google, discover a great site, you visit 20 pages from that site and then you want to go back to the search results. You can click Back 20 times or try to locate Google in the list next to the back button. Or you can just hit "Rewind" if you use Opera.
6. Nicknames for collections of sites
How do you visit you favorite sites? You bookmark them and then try to locate the sites in the Bookmark menu. Or you enter the first letters of the URL in the address bar. In Opera you can associate nicknames to sites or collection of sites. Picture this: type "news" and see your favourite news sites opening in their tabs.
7. Tab closing
You visit site A, open a link to site B in a new tab, but the tabs A and B aren't next to each other. If you close tab B, Firefox won't revert to the tab A. You'll see site C in a tab at the left of tab B. Opera shows the previous active tab.
8. Instant back
When you click Back, the browser tries to refetch the page. Opera shows the page from the cache, so the "Back" action happens instantly.
9. Page zoom
Some sites have almost unreadable font sizes, others have huge pictures. Opera zoom feature maintains the site integrity and allows you to view the site without losing the visual presentation.
10. Crash recovery
Your browser crashes and you want to go back to the sites you were visting before the crash. In Firefox, you have to go History and open them one by one. Opera automatically saves last session so you'll see the tabs in the same order when you open the browser.
11. load faster
if you want pages to load faster, you can load only cached images
12. voice command
you can control the browser with voice commands.
13. mouse gestures
use mouse gestures (you can go back this way: hold right button and move mouse left or hold right button and click left button)
14. create presentations
create beautiful presentations without using Microsoft PowerPoint (presentation online)
15. change keyboard shortcuts
you can change keyboard shortcuts
16. Right click + scroll wheel
17. Can handle the most tabs opened among the top 3 windows browser (FF and IE7 can handle less tabs before the system slows down)
18. Search in address bar - go to a search site, in the search box, right click, create search, put letter. When you search for something, type g in address bar space keywords then enter. No need for search bar anymore or additional toolbars. FF still only supports google search in address bar.
19. Drag tabs into personal bar, panels, besides address bar - An improved version of FF's customize toolbar, alternate way to bookmark often visited pages.
20. Trash can - an easier version of undo closed tab/ closed tabs list
21. More Import and Export options
22. Wand + master password - A safer version of putting in passwords compared to FF and IE's default way.
23. Manage bookmarks - Superior to bookmark folder extension in that you can create folders while bookmarking
24. Single button navigation - In Opera, moving from tab to tab involves pressing 1 and 2 and if you prefer, an easier way to remap the keys into Ctrl Tab like FF by visiting Tools - Preference
25. Multiple Config + Customizable lay-out = Each skins downloaded has color schemes which adds 12 additional skins from just downloading 1 skin. Each setup/toolbars/keyboard/mouse config can be saved, duplicated easily for when you want to switch back to the default setup or want Opera to function/look another way quickly.

opera can voice command?..where search software?.

Most important tip:

Blend Ads With Layout

Set the ad colors to match the colors of your background, link and text colors. By blending the ads, visitors won't ignore the ads and identify them
as ads. This is the best! More tips

Very useful tips! thanks..

1. Think of it like personalizing your desk.
Only display on your profile what you’d put on your desk.
2. Look for old co-workers and current connections.
Many times you can find more people here then on LinkedIn and stay connected better.
3. Add friends selectively. Despite what you might think, its not a popularity contest. Think quality over quantity.
4. Add apps selectively.
There are over 2000 Facebook apps that you can add. A lot aren’t right for you. Only add the ones that are going to help you.
5. Edit your news feed preferences.
Set your preferences so that you are only being alerted when something happens that will be useful to you. Someone adds a new picture: No. Someone adds a new contact: Yes.
6. Edit your profile and security settings. Be selective showing what to whom. In most cases you don’t want to use the default settings which will probably show more information than you would like.
7. Incorporate the tools you’re already using into your profile.
If you’re already using Digg, Twitter, etc - then add them into your profile. Run a blog? Publish the feed. In short - make your profile work for you.
8. Join Groups related to your business interests.
Just like in real life, there are a lot of dumb groups on Facebook . So stay away from them and hunt down the few that can really help you. Cut through the noise and find the ones that will help enrich your day and grow professionally.see what your respected contacts are joining as those might be good matches for you.
9.Limit time wasted on Facebook
You can easily sit there and waste tons of time on Facebook. That doesn’t help you professionally - at all. Set limits for yourself. Or access Facebook from your mobile when you are in the car/on the train/etc - the mobile version is great.
10.Be philanthropic.
You’ll be helping others, which is good karma. But you will also look good to your contacts in the process.
11. Ask Questions. The My Questions app is a great way to tap into your contacts’ knowledge en masse.
12. Look for events.
One thing I have found is that the best online relationships are supplemented by face-to-face networking or meetings. Use Facebook to find these opportunities - they are out there.
