97th floor: new social media toolbar for firefox 3.0


The folks over at 97th Floor have released a new version of their popular (and free) Social Media toolbar geared specifically towards FireFox 3.x users. I have known about this toolbar for some time but have neglected to install it due to a longstanding hatred of over-cluttered browsers and half-functional, largely unnecessary add-ons. Well, I was wrong on this one. Its brilliant. 97th Floor's toolbar combines everything I love in an add-on.


97th Floor's toolbar is:

  • 100% functional
  • Extremely lightweight
  • Very discreet & unobtrusive
  • Actually quite useful
The above are, sadly, rare qualities in most browser extensions. 97th Floor nails it, however. It will provide you with one-click submissions to all your favorite social bookmarking sites, as well as integration with Twitter and Sphinn. And my favorite part: it anchors into the foot of the browser window, instead of adding to the heap of toolbars you already have at the top.


I'd encourage anyone to download this utility--and truly it is a utility--97th's Social Media streamlines your social-media endeavours into a one-click affair. Truly a valuable and well-thought-out tool in the sea of half-baked toolbars and extensions.

Edit: After writing this, it was called to my attention that this potentially could be considered a "script" by Digg, as it does modify your "shouts" page. I cannot verify if this app is sanctioned by Digg or not--it does NOT offer any cheats on Digg--but regardless I would still exercise caution using this, lest ye be banned from Digg!
