Guide Review - Unofficial MySpace Toolbar
This add-on is an absolute must have for MySpace members. If you use MySpace but not Firefox, I suggest you switch over to Mozilla's browser so you can utilize this amazing toolbar. The layout of the social networking site is fairly straight-forward, and navigating its pages and functionality is really not that tough to begin with. However, this toolbar makes things ten times easier than they already are by linking directly to all of the common MySpace activities like commenting, messaging, and blogging. The internal HTML Editor is top-notch, comment and bulletin notifications are very convenient, and the AutoHide feature comes in handy as it preserves valuable browser real estate while you are not on MySpace. In addition, the toolbar itself has a decent amount of customization options for its interface. The Unofficial MySpace Toolbar gets an A+ grade from About Web Browsers.
