Bookmarklets for the Web 2.0 Jedi Master - a selection of useful bookmarklets to speed up some routine online tasks.

Readers United - a book swapping website which someone brought to my attention. Enters a rather over-crowded market though.

Crowdvine - CrowdVine is a free social networking site that lets anyone create and customize a social network for their organization, event, or alumni group.

FeedYes
- Automatically generated RSS feeds for any page on the web. Just type the URL of any page, and FeedYes gives you the feed.

Today is German Unity Day in Germany and so this is a good time to take advantage of some holiday surfing and post some recently discovered bookmarks :



Gmail Search Bookmarks Script - good for regular Gmail searches.

Defraggler - a new defragmenting tool for the PC - but it is a beta application so use with caution!
