  • GeoGuide (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12118) : an add-on that shows different kinds of information near you, using the geolocation API. It allows to popuplate a map with only what you're interested in (pictures, events, wikipedia articles...)
  • GraffiTwit (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12191) : aa Twitter client with a unique feature : instead of writing text messages, you can now use a Canvas based drawing board to send sketches, and of course view them when other twitterers send you sketches.
