The ever popular and IE beating Firefox browser has just become available as an all new version 2. Althought this is only a release candidate - with the official release due in October - I installed it and found a nice new feature called Microsummaries.

Microsummaries are regularly-updated short summaries of web pages. When you bookmark a web page that has a microsummary, you can choose to display the microsummary as the title of the bookmark. Then, when the page changes, the title will also change, so you can find out the current status of the page just by looking at the bookmark.

So I just knocked up a very quick implementation of Microsummaries for Switchboard. Try it out with yours. Just bookmark your Switchboard in Firefox and you will be given the option to bookmark it using it's Microsummary, which will display the Switchboard's title and the number of new comments.

It's a great way of seeing if your Switchboard has any new comments since you last checked.
