One of the most interesting aspects of the IE vs. Firefox battle is the development of the ecosystem of extensions or add-ons. It’s not just about bugs and features. Right now Firefox had a great advantage in this space but you can see Microsoft trying to catch up.<br />I noticed an interesting extension called Trailfire, set up as a recommended download for IE7. See link:<br /><br />http://www.ieaddons.com/SearchResults.aspx?keywords=trailfire<br /><br />I think the ecosystem for Firefox and IE will decide who wins this battle. What do you think?

I think the ecosystem for Firefox and IE will decide who wins this battle. What do you think?

I’ll set up a monument to you.

I wish you know how tiring is knowing that 100+ bookmarking services has their own (absolutely incompatible, of course) APIs…

If flock started offering more service options such as blue dot I might try it out - but I am hooked on having my del.icio.us bookmarks show up in my search box results along with my search history and yahoo results.

Spurl saves and searches the whole page, not just the URL and page title. It also pushes everything you save to Del.icio.us, so you can always go back if it doesn't work for you. FIY - I don't really use the social networking aspects of bookmarking sites. I mainly use them as hierarchical storage for my brain. I’m a Spurl fan.
