This is an extremely useful tool. How often does this happen to you? You are viewing a web page and you have something to say about the content of that page. You leave the page to go to your blog editing tool or page, login, etc. With ScribFire installed as a Firefox add-on, you just right click anywhere on the page that prompts your blogging idea. In the pop-out contextual menu, select ScribeFire. A window pops up in the lower half of your browser window, with the original web page that inspired you still active in the top half of the window. ScribeFire's WYSIWYG editor is easy to use and very responsive. You make your comments, add links, and publish. If you forget to create a title, a pop-up reports this and gives you a chance to add one. Once you publish, the new entry is in your blog. Done! How nice is that?
