SpeedyMarks on the side

After optimizing all my iPhone applications for the browser sidebars it's now time to put the SpeedyMarks itself into the sidebar too.

It's great to have all your visual bookmarks only one click away without creating or switching tabs. Just put

http://www.speedymarks.com/sidebar.html

in your sidebar and there you are or simply click one of these links:

Add to Firefox Sidebar     Add to Opera Panels

You will see that the sidebar version shares the same SpeedyMarks as the desktop version (from either cookie based or server based storage) but comes with its own settings for background color, SpeedyMarks size and link target.

Please note: Alternatively you could use the iPhone version of SpeedyMarks, which works great in the sidebar too but it manages its collection of SpeedyMarks indepently.

iPhone apps in browser sidebar

As you probably know it makes complete sense to run iPhone optimized web applications (e.g. the mobile Google Reader) in the browser sidebar. iPhone applications are usually optimized for a 320 pixel wide browser window which is the perfect size for Firefox's sidebar and Operas panels especially on todays wide screen monitors where a full screen web page would be too wide anyway.

Of course you an run all my iPhone applications in the sidebar already. Just open the application in Firefox or Opera, add a bookmark and check Load this bookmark in the sidebar on Firefox or Show in panel on Opera.

But if you want to run more than one of my iPhone applications in the sidebar you need to create a lot of bookmarks and constantly click your booksmarks to switch. There is no need to. Just put

http://start.speedymarks.com/sidebar.html

in your sidebar and you can easily switch between all my iPhone applications on your sidebar. It even comes with a convient button to add the bookmark automatically:
