Tempomail is a fairly new Firefox extension that will help you fight off spam by using temporary e-mail addresses. The way it works is that you right click on a text field and select “tempomail” in the context menu. Then you’ll be asked for your real e-mail address where messages will be redirected during the time you selected. Seems like a very good and useful extension to me!

Google Reader Notifier is a new Firefox extension that will show how many unread items you have in your Google Reader account. I’m a fan of Sage myself, but for those who use Google Reader this could be a valuable extension.

No More Answers from Google
November 29th, 2006

Come December you can expect no new answers from Google. Google announced that Google Answers will stop accepting new questions. Of course older questions will still be available.

The people who participated in Google Answers — more than 800 of them over the years — are a passionate group committed to helping people find the information they need, and we applaud them for sharing their incredible knowledge with everyone who wrote in.

If you have a chance, we encourage you to browse through the questions posted over the last 4+ years. Although we won’t be accepting any new questions, the existing Qs and As are available. We’ll stop accepting new Answers to questions by the end of the year.

Google Answers was a great experiment which provided us with a lot of material for developing future products to serve our users. We’ll continue to look for new ways to improve the search experience and to connect people to the information they want.
