Bookmarklets roundup
USEFUL BOOKMARKLETS provided by a few popular on-line services are featured in this week's column.
As featured in an earlier edition of NetSpeak, a bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program that can be placed on a browser's `bookmarks toolbar.' Generally, it is used for doing repetitive tasks directly from the browser like accessing a web-based service, posting on to a blog and the like. For example, if you type this simple JavaScript code `javascript:open (`http://hinduonnet.com/biz');' on to your browser's address bar, it will open the Hindu's business page on a new browser window.
