The best just got, well, incrementally somewhat better-ish.
I noticed on Gadgetopia (yay FeedDemon!) that Google has released a beta of their ever-so-popular browser Toolbar. New features include (but not limited to):
Sounds pretty cool, although AutoLink sounds a bit sketchy, but I'm sure it can be disabled (or just never click the button). The features page offers a bit more info on AutoLink:
New! AutoLink
The online review of a great new restaurant has the place's address but no map. You could type the restaurant's street, city, and ZIP code into the search box, but why bother, when clicking the Toolbar's AutoLink button will automatically create a link to an online map (US addresses only)? AutoLink can also link package tracking numbers to delivery status, VIN numbers (US) to vehicle history, and publication ISBN numbers to Amazon.com listings.
So there you have it.
