Firefox User Agent Switcher

It could be really useful have Firefox and the “user agent switcher”, a plugin made by Chris Pederick, if you are going to develop mobile device web site. That tool allows your browser to be changed with another device and fake the server sniffer.

To install it follow these steps:

1. Download and install the user agent plugin at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59,
2. Restart your browser
3. Go to Tools>User Agent Switcher>Options>Options>User Agents
4. Press Add and insert the device name ie "Nokia n95" in the description field
5. Insert this string: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413 in the “User Agents” field.

it's about 6 month I'm using this plugin and I think it has made my life more simple.
Limitation is the not really faithful rendering of the page. That means what you see is not you see on the real device. However this is a useful tool to search, testing, and read the xhtml code of other mobile sites

Drugs Pills has moved out of the content

Hy guys I am quite happy. What I was thinking has made been real.
It is about Drugs Pills my weekly review on the most important news about mobile.

It was a little bit of time that I thought finding a system to computerize the process reading information from del.icio.us.
Today I was reading this post http://adamcohenrose.blogspot.com/2008/04/momolondon-mobile-user-experience.html by Adam Cohen-Rose when I saw it:
"The Adam Cohen-Rose favorite" on his blog.

Oh thanks Adam, I'm so lazy a lot of time I’ve seen the setting link in del.icio.us but I never tried it.
Just I spent a lot of time looking for news, subscription and see people network on del.icio.us.

So now I'll try to move my weekly review on the right panel :) cooool (I’m also redesigning my blog, I know it is fucking unusable)

Bless you
Ps. I know you know del.icio.us, one of the best social web application of the web.
