SendTab, as the name suggests, makes it easy to send and receive browser tabs from one computer to another, either targeting a specific browser on a specific machine, or flinging a link to all the devices in a ‘network’. SendTab comes in the form of a bookmarklet, a browser extension for Safari or Chrome, and an iPhone app.

I’ve only been using SendTab for a few days, but it’s already proved itself invaluable, filling a niche that’s somewhere between bookmarking and the likes of Instapaper, letting me ‘read soon, elsewhere’ rather than ‘read later’.

Creates QR codes. A free, useful tool — perhaps in my or your next project. ;)

“PIE makes Internet Explorer 6–8 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features.”

I’ve been waiting for an open-source project like this forever. A handy collection of the best hacks and tricks out there, that makes IE behave like a modern browser.

PIE seems to be the most elegant and organized solution out there.

It gives you text shadows, box shadows, rounded corners and gradients — that’s plenty of more creative freedom than before.

Now, none of this would be necessary if Microsoft played by the rules and followed the industry standards — like HTML5, and CSS3 in this case.

Anyway, thanks for PIE!

Auto-completion gone wild.

From Adactio’s journal, about his feelings on hash-bang URLs.

I’m using Google as my default search engine. Howevere, if I ever needed to change my default search engine, Duck Duck Go would be my number one choice.

In many ways, Duck Duck Go offers more advanced (yet useful) features than Google Search. Also, I think it provides as good search results as Google — in a more clean and attractive way.

Sure, Google has become an ubiquitous web service provider. Search, mail, maps, documents and more… While this is amazing, it is starting to scare some people.

I’m glad to see new search engines like Duck Duck Go pushing the envelope for online search. I do not think sites like Duck Duck Go will bcome a real threat to Google, but they will force Google to keep innovating its core business — search.
