Zentact’s Gmail Integration
Zentact is a really great networking assistance program that helps you keep in contact with people. Go sign up and then install the Firefox extension afterwards. You enter and tag your contacts and Zentact reminds you to reach out to a person by letting you know when you surf by a webpage that their tags indicate would be of interest. It is also cool because we built it!
Besides the website and the Firefox extension, Zentact has some really cool integration features with other services such as Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Since we know you’re thinking about people when sending them email, it seemed like the perfect place to let you add and edit your contacts and their tags. Just take a look at this picture.
The Network Builder, Zentact, has launched!
Zentact helps you network better and transforms your contacts into relationships. Cloudspace has been working with and building Zentact with Eric Marcoullier, Jared Brandt, and John Sampson. Just get your contacts in there, tag them and begin surfing the web; Zentact will let you know when you are on a page that is interesting to one of your contacts and give you the opportunity to reach out to them.
There are lots of people talking about it today:
Check it out and let us know what you think, the system is still invite only but the links in this post are set up to let you right in.
Extension Development with Firefox 3
I published a post on my personal site this morning about using the Extension Developer’s Extension and Firefox 3. There’s a feature that doesn’t fully work in Firefox 3, for installing development versions of an extension. But, if you load Firefox 2 and install it, the settings will carry over into Firefox 3. This particular feature has been very useful to me in working on the Zentact extension, as well as other extensions I’ve been working on.
