Choosing your Destination with Hyperwords

Hyperwords is a very useful Firefox add-on, which makes all the words on a website instantly interactive.

Hyperwords works in a similar way to the code from Answers.com previously reviewed in 2008. However, the advantage of Hyperwords is that you do not have to manually install code on every website where you want to use it.

Once added to Firefox, you can select a word and then choose from multiple suggested reference sites. Easily search for related text, map, image or video information with just a couple of clicks.

Hyperwords works nicely within a Moodle site and you can even post directly to Twitter!! Translation, of the selected text, to a number of languages is also provided.

Yet another reason to switch to Firefox :-)

Downloading .SWF Files

Real Player 11 allows you to download videos from the Internet quite easily but for some reason the download manager kept 'hanging' when I, recently, tried to download a .swf file.

Turns out there is another easy way to download files from the Internet using Firefox. Have a look at the video below if you have not used this method before. Worked perfectly first time!!!

I guess this is yet another reason to make the switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox.
