Morning Coffee Needs a Double Shot of Espresso
It’s rare that we review plugins and extensions for Firefox but when I was perusing my feeds tonight (you know, the ones I’d pay a buck for), I noticed that Demo Girl (aka Molly) had created a video overview of a new extension called Morning Coffee.
The idea with Morning Coffee is simple: you want to open different tabs for different days. The issue with this extension is also simple: how many people don’t want to open everything every day? It’s not like an alarm clock that you have one setting for work days and one setting for lazy days. They do have a weekday/weekend setting that could have some potential as I may not care to open my stock tabs on the weekend or my TMZ during the week.
How would you use a tool like Morning Coffee? Are there sites you open only on specific days?
Here’s Molly’s overview of the tool:
I have friends who swear by it, but they are friends who don’t understand how to use a FeedReader. It’s really a feature to a feature as a bookmarks option. I use a combination of the RSS reader and my Session Manager to accomplish the same thing without one more Firefox add-on.
I can see some use for that plug-in at work. Come into the office, sit down, and click one button to pop open tabs for the various things I need to check on each morning – site analytics and other web apps, for example, plus a couple of sites that don’t have RSS feeds.
Not that I couldn’t load them all manually, of course, but it might be helpful to make sure I don’t accidentally forget to check one of them.
