SL Web Toolbar

Just a quickie by request here. 

• There is now a search toolbar for Second Life available here - http://secondlifesearch.ourtoolbar.com/ . Sadly it only runs under Windows and is designed for the Firefox browser although an IE version is available. Being a Mac person, I have not been able to test it there.

• What I have looked at however is the "module" version which I embedded in my Netvibes page. It works a treat with quick access to SL articles on the web, SLURLs posted on the web and location links for SL itself. For those who use the web a lot but with a principal interest in SL it will probably be indispensible.

• Essentially, it incorporates all the SL specific utilities like Sloog, BlogHud, Sqawk, SLTweets and Gridmarker - all of which publish RSS feeds which are accessible both in-world and out - thus providing a bridge between both. Search options can be limited to one or more specific sources (eg. "inside" SL only) or can be carried out over the wealth of websites and blogs dedicated to SL on the web. All we really need is a version of the search facility than works inside SL in the other direction.

• Do check it out.
