MetaLIS - repository

A new LIS repository to add to my older post (this is the time when I should transfer these to a wiki, from stock to flow)…oh well I’ll use Furl for now as my archive.

Here is MetaLIS.

Bitty Browser - blog add-on

Filed under: rss, tools, search

Bitty Browser is an extension of RSS to Java syndication box idea.

This goes a step further by allowing you to generate code to embed an actual mini-browser or button on your blog or website…you can make the homepage any URL even an RSS feed URL (this will show the latest content syndicated from an RSS feed, similar to RSS to Java tools).

So you can show the latest feeds from your del.icio.us account on a mini-browser that is embedded on your blog…the cool thing is that it is a browser so you can do a Google search and view the results in the mini-browser itself or you can click on Open URL and enter a website address.

You can open a web page in a new mini-browser window, so you can keep scanning the original mini-browser.

The mini-browser also has a menu button, the first link “What else is on?” is a directory of mini-browser hompages that you can view or save to become your default homepage when you get your mini-browser.
