Yahoo! Cool Thing of the Day

One of my standard add-ons to Firefox is an extension that allows you to select a text URL on a webpage and use the context menu to open it in a new window. It's just convenient to take a piece of text that semantically screams "THIS IS A LINK" and actually make it actionable.

Map+ does the same thing, but with addresses. It's really, really cool.

Sample address, for post-install fun: 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA

From this YUI blog post -- thanks!. I might steal a few more posts from there later.
