Meet a small beast living in your browser - a bookmarklet

0 comments

Bookmarklet is a small piece of FFF.TO web-site which allow to make a short URL for any page you browse. To install the bookmarklet, drag this link to your browser as you see in the screencast. Rename it properly, personally i prefer the FFF name. If you know something about graphics design or especially web-development, #FFF means a reduced form of white color's hex-value :)

To create a short URL press on the bookmarklet once again. A small panel will appear in the right corner of the page you are browsing currently. Current URL will be captured by the bookmarklet automatically. You may set the lifetime and tags. Yes, tags, keywords, categories or whatever you call it. Separate them with comma. Now tags are used to form a vanity suffix on a second step (well, see more on this in following post). Press the continue button (take a look at the screencast):





One thing that the screencast do not capture well. To close the bookmarklet click on its link in your bookmark panel or on "close" link in top right corner of the bookmarklet.

I hope you will enjoy this feature as we do!
