For those of you using Firefox and haven’t heard about Personas, now might be a good time to start.

I recently started using them and they add a nice touch to your browser. By simply going to the Personas website, you can simply glide over the wide variety of available “personas” and see the instant change (*w/plugin). There are quite a bit of categories so you are bound to find something you are interested in. Once you are satisfied, simply wear it with style. If you aren’t satisfied, you can even make your own, or make Talk Binary one mind you.

Below is a video that explains this to you since lots of people like seeing stuff explained with sound and moving pictures.

Recently, I was looking at source code over the internet and had trouble looking at the entire code in one window without having to create another just to see the entire content of that page.

Hoping there was a “split window” add-on for Firefox out there similar to emacs or vim, I began my search and found Split Browser. Split Browser allows you to split your browser window however you like. You can split your browser in order to see more of the current page without the need of having to open a new window which I thought was great. A preview of it in action is below.

Using Split Browser

Simply install Split Browser. Then to “split” your screen you can choose to split through the menu, by right-clicking, clicking the popup-buttons that appear on the top/bot/left/right of the screen, or even drop a link to the edges of your screen.

Overall

So far I think it’s great. It’s easy to use and allows you to split your browser to your hearts content. My only complaint is that it’s not “very” intuitive to use at first, but once you get used to it, it should work out fine.

Is it really the Firefox of media players? Well, upon first look I was skeptic. I was a fan of winAMP, and then moved on over to iTunes ever since I got my iPod Touch, but haven’t been satisfied since. Songbird looks like its going to deliver.

Features

Songbird has many functionalities many other media players already have. So why go with this one? So far its an open-source application that is working on creating a cross-platform, playback tool that lets you discover music and more! With the customization its promising to deliver, its worth a look.

Coming soon?

Songbird is planning on adding more Device Support, Metadata management, Album Artwork fetching, Subscriptions to music blogs and services, and more performance and stability. Coming later is CD Ripping, ability to watch folders, and support for video.

My Review

So far its hard to tell, but Songbird is promising to deliver. So far I’ve been using it for awhile and haven’t found a need to switch over to iTunes or winAMP again. I like the clean interface and the way you can customize it to your liking with the themes, skins, and add-ons.

So what are you waiting for? Go check Songbird out!
