Bookmarklets FTW: Magic Pop-Outs and the Theory of Dog Balls!

Bookmarklets FTW!

As explained in my previous post Bookmarklets FTW: Preview Your Blogspot Posts Like a Boss!, bookmarklets are little (or not so little) helper bookmarks, which actually contain scripts. They can certainly make your life easier with automation. I'm bringing here 2 of them, which I've been using a lot.
  • A bookmarklet that opens streaming videos in little popups (not just Youtube videos).
  • A bookmarklet that opens a tiny remote control for Grooveshark player functions.
  • I'm including a small-but-useful app for keeping popup windows on top.
For more advanced readers, I've added a deeper explanation on the bookmarklet structure and recommendations for bookmarklet editing tools and procedures.

Bookmarklets FTW: Preview Your Blogspot Posts Like a Boss!

Bookmarklets FTW!
Bookmarklets are little (and sometimes not so little) script snippets which are stored as browser bookmarks, thus they can be invoked easily and quickly. They are tremendous help, especially for a lazy programmer like the one I always claim to be, always seeking shortcuts, scripts and automation. Let the computer do the work for you when possible, I say.
I keep a collection of my own home-made bookmarklets which I find handy, and I will share at least some of them here occasionally.
Bookmarklets work on all web browsers except on Internet Explorer, which means they work on all web browsers.
For Google Chrome there is even a option to convert bookmarklets into Chrome extensions!
