POPSFree online speed reader (also as browser plugin) This is a really handy lifehacking tool, esp. if you're an information-junky like me :-). There are similar tools on the market, but I prefer this one, 'cause it's free and you don't have to download and install software. I like my machine to stay clean and mean :-)

POPSDownload YouTube Videos as MP4 Files
Save the following link as a "bookmarklet" by dragging it to your Links bar (in Firefox, Safari) or right-clicking and adding it to your favorites (in Internet Explorer, Opera): to download the MP4 files, you need to use the same URL like for FLV files and append "&fmt=18": http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=ID&t=SIGNATURE&fmt=18 ID is the video's identification value, SIGNATURE is a value that prevents you from downloading the file just by knowing the ID. You could create this URL by looking at the source code of a YouTube page, but it's much easier to automatically generate it. When you want to download a YouTube video, click on the bookmarklet and you should see a new option below the embeddable code. Because YouTube doesn't send the right MIME type, you shouldn't click on the download link. Right-click and select "save link as" or "save target as" and enter a proper name for the video. Make sure to use the .mp4 extension when you enter the filename. YouTube's MP

POPSPlay any page with Yahoo! media player Put this bookmarklet in your favorites bar, and when you find a page with links to mp3s, it will allow you to turn on a full-featured Yahoo! media player right in the page, complete with playlist-based navigation. Nice.

POPSClipmarks suggestion: add Tumblr to Clip-to-Blog(tm)? Tumblr and Clipmarks seem like a perfect match. It's easy to embed a clip in a Tumblr-hosted tumblelog, but -- something for the developers to consider -- I bet the site would gain some good visibility from automating the process. Especially if it were just as easy to insert a plain HTML clip (like you can with Clip-to-Blog on Blogger) as it is to embed a Flash clip widget

POPSClipmarks bug? Clipping tool failing to activate Sometimes when there is high CPU load on my computer and I click the clipping tool button, I can't clip anything. The bar at the top of the browser appears normally, but even after waiting a while, the orange lines never appear. Sometimes if I click "cancel" and reload the page and try again, the problem goes away; sometimes it doesn't. I'm running FF 2.0.0.6 on XP with a lot of extensions installed. Maybe this is an argument for offering an alternative way of clipping pages (e.g. a javascript bookmarklet)?
