Mobileslate Browser Toolbar

September 23rd, 2008 by Eric

I am attempting to try something different. I found out that I can create my own browser toolbar as a way to keep in touch with my readers. But it’s not just a way for you to access my content easier, it also provides some other features to help you too.

The toolbar has the following features (click image to enlarge) and supports Internet Explorer and Firefox:

Mobileslate Toolbar

  • Search box, powered by Google
  • Email Notifier – Alerts you when new email arrives
  • Weather button – Click to get the forecast where you are
  • Streaming Radio – Listen to your favorite radio station (supports any Windows Media, RealPlayer or Podcast stream).
  • RSS Reader – Easier access to my posts from Mobileslate
