Last lists; Web reading tips

Top 10 lists
This New Year’s Eve day I find I am plenty tired of “top” lists for 2007. However, I decided I just had to save this one from Lifehacker for future reference. It lists useful stuff, not just memories. You gotta love those free computer system recovery tools, Firefox extensions, and ways to sleep better when you’re not computing.
List of 2007 lists from TechCrunch
The Year in Launches
Most Popular TechCrunch Posts of 2007
The Year in Deals
The Year in DeadPool
and a final list from TechCrunch shows their most bookmarked posts as determined by those who used the “add this” button. Includes “9 ways to build your own social network” and “If you don’t use del.icio.us, you will now” among its 25 links.
Manage your Web reading better
These tips from Web Worker Daily, or reminders if you are already familiar with them, caught my eye and reminded me that I could use some more help in making my way through the good stuff that shows up in my RSS feeds.
One favor I did myself this past year was to select and stick with Google Reader and take advantage of the features it offers. I mentioned the feed search function here awhile ago and also the “personalized recommendations.”
I vaguely remember reading about the Firefox extension called “Read it later” but didn’t install it then. Now I’m going to try it. Developer Idea Shower recently brought out a major release. You can download the extension here.
