Missy Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm pleased to announce an add-on for both Firefox and Internet Explorer users: the Earth-2.net toolbar! Features include: - A resizable Google search engine. (Note: The first few results are sponsored results / ads.) - An RSS reader, linking to the two Earth-2.net RSS feeds. - A direct link to the forums. - An expandable menu with links to the various archives. - A message center, which will be used to send you news related to Earth-2.net. - An e-mail notifier, which can be used with Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail and POP3. - A radio / podcast player, preloaded with recent episode of Dread Media, Earth-2.net: The Show and World's Finest Podcast. You can also add your favorite streaming radio stations, or other podcasts if you'd like. (Note: It doesn't look like you can fast forward or rewind using said player.) - Other features -- such as links to MS Word, Excel and Media Player, as well as weather forecasters -- can be added by you. (To do so, click the arrow next to the e-mail notifier, then Settings and then Toolbar Options. Selecting the various tabs will provide you with the options to add new components.) Thoughts?

James D. Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've downloaded it to my desktop computer. I'll let you know what I think about it, but it seems cool upon first glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 If there are any features you'd like to see added, let me know. And whenever I make a change to the toolbar (such as adding a new component), you should see the change shortly thereafter without having to reinstall it.

Dread Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Sounds interesting...tell me: will said toolbar allow me to lay waste to mine enemies? I kid. I'll download the sucker...twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 This looks great. It's not gonna melt my computer, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 According to the site that hosts it, the toolbar is free of spyware, viruses and pop-ups. It also doesn't collect personal data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 This toolbar is "bomb-diggety"!!! The only thing I would ask is whether it's space issues preventing all the E-2.n:TS episodes being available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Even though all of the episodes are in the RSS feed, the radio player only seems to list the last 50 shows. Why? I don't know. All I do know is that I can't do anything about it. But still, there's always the archives and iTunes for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 One other thing - sometimes when I've paused it, it'll go right back to the beginning of the file. Tres bizarre. Still, pretty nifty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Are you sure you're hitting pause and not stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
