FIXZR

If you share a computer with anyone you’ll know how annoying it is to find out that all your cookies have been messed-up. You are no longer logged into your gmail or facebook and your browsing history is now buried under a stack of irrelevant sites. People could log in and out of different user accounts to avoid this problem, but no one does as it takes too long (over 5 seconds in XP/Vista at least). Enter Firefox profiles. Profiles offer you a super quick way to change profiles (they are what they say they are). This feature is not easy to find, but great once you set it up. To set it up, close all Firefox browsers (you need them all to be closed or it won’t work), they go to the Windows Start Menu and select the ‘Run’ option. Then type in ‘Firefox -P’ (without the quotes). It’s fairly straight forward from there - happy partitioned browsing! [If you're running on a Mac you can probably switch user accounts in a milliseconds so Firefox profiles may be a little less useful]

XOBNI is a must-have tool for anyone who uses Outlook. It is quite simply wonderfully useful. It should, and maybe will, be built into Outlook. It provides the search functionality Outlook so desperartely needs (and does so in a more stable way that the google desktop plugin). Xobni also links everyone’s email to publicly available Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, saving you googling them. It has a host of features to help you track conversation threads, find files, map relationships, and track general stats on who you communicate with. Download it today.
