Keeping Track of the World with Chrome Extensions
Thursday, April 29, 2010
In recent weeks, we saw not only breaking news, but
erupting
,
stunning
and
unveiling
news! To keep myself from drowning in the news flood, I found that using a few Chrome extensions can help me keep track of it all.
If you're a media enthusiast like I am, there are many Chrome extensions that can help you stay on top of your favorite media sites. With the
Financial Times
extension, you can quickly browse the financial and economic headlines. At the same time, you can keep up with the latest in politics and art with the
NPR
extension. A neat feature is that you can also listen to episodes of "All Songs Considered" and other NPR programs. Fan of
cricket
,
Formula 1
, or
rugby
? ESPN has extensions that give you one-click access to top headlines and live scores while you browse the web.
For those who prefer using Google Reader to manage your news feeds, you can quickly preview subscriptions in a pop-up using the
Google Reader Notifier
extension. Interested in a particular story? You can open your Google Reader in a new tab or go directly to the article.
Sometimes I want to see all of my content in one, easily accessible page.
Feedly
organizes your content from your favorite sites and services such as Google Reader, Twitter and Flickr into a stylish, magazine-like start page.
These are just a few extensions to help you stay in the know, and you can find many more in the Chrome extensions
gallery
. You can also check out this video to see some other features you can add to your browser.
