Release: About This Site Firefox add-on, v. 1.2
I got all fancy-pants with XUL and Firefox preferences in the latest release of About This Site, a Firefox add-on that hooks you up with all sorts of meta-services when you’re researching a web site (like Alexa graphs, del.icio.us bookmarks, a WhoIs query, etc.)
The new release is only a minor point upgrade but feature-wise it’s major: now you can configure whatever meta-lookups your heart desires in the menu all by yourself. (This will also head off all that email I get from folks requesting that I add their new webapp to the menu.)
Current About This Site users can upgrade just using the auto-update feature; go to your Add-ons in Firefox, right click on About This Site and hit “Find Update.”
What’s more, the fine folks at Lifehacker are funding some of my whimsical open source development efforts, so the extension and some more little utilities I’ve got in the works will be hosted there, under the new Lifehacker Code tag.
A girl cannot subsist on blogging alone. Meep.
