On most days I use 10-15, depending on what sort of information I come across. Five are bookmarklets that post to my blogs. In a month I will have used all of them.
And yup, My eMac works perfectly, is connected to my network and gets used several times a week.

Wow, 34! That's way more than me. Do you still use most of them regularly?

Also, are you still using the eMac in your profile picture? :)

I just organized mine today, all 34 of them. Very handy little things to have, I just didn't realize how many I'd collected.

You know, I just started using Firebug and it is very cool. I like how it will interactively highlight elements on a web page, as one example.

The web developer bookmarklets hook in to Firefox in various ways and there is definitely overlap in what they do.

There are a couple that I find extremely useful personally: the topographic view is excellent, showing how elements are laid out on a page using shaded boxes, and the test styles bookmarklet is extremely handy for quickly messing with CSS code to see what works and what doesn't on an existing page. It also lets you disable certain things without stripping all CSS completely, which is handy for some pages where just one CSS item is annoying, like the font size or background pattern.

I did install the iterasi upgrade, thanks! I noticed that the icons now default up near the address bar and do not show up on pop-up windows anymore (like the share on tumblr window). Definitely improved, thanks.

Can I have a link to your tumblelog? I follow everyone in tumblr whom I notice has one, I think they are great!

Also, please do keep me in mind if or when you start beta testing an iterasi bookmarklet. I'll be happy to provide feedback!

Thanks for mentioning that you would love to see a bookmarklet versions for iterasi. We'd love to be part of that group. Last week we did upgrade so iterasi icons may be customized in Firefox. The add-on may be as simple as a text display.

Toulu is the next bookmarklet for me. Tumblr is my current favorite.

Thanks for that list. I'm curious about the web developer bookmarks. Do you use anything like FireBug in FireFox? I'm just wondering if those bookmarks offer anything above what FireBug does...

My "add feed to google reader" link was replaced with that by Toluu, even though it's not called out specifically. Another cool deal with Toluu is if I want to signal displeasure with a feed, I can delete it via Toluu, and it'll say "Louis removed XYZ Feed" on others activity (like Tris Hussey for example).

Really a fun post to read. I had a good time trying some of the bookmarklets right from your post. Even dragged a couple up to the bookmarks bar. Thanks.

Definitely! Whenever I subscribe to a new feed I try to remember to use it, so that I don't have manually add the feed to Toluu later. Great time saver!
