Sparky: Alexa Toolbar for Firefox

Alexa had finally released their long awaited toolbar for Firefox, call Sparky, and it is one way to increase your blog or site's traffic ranking. Before this Alexa only released their toolbar for IE version only and I've tried it using it on IE. All that I can say is I'm disappointed with the IE version and I want to use it on my Firefox. So I've found another extensions made by Quirk eMarketing Services called SearchStatus. It displays your page rank and alexa ranking on the bottom of your Firefox.

Now that Firefox has come up with Sparky, we can see any site or blog's ranking at the bottom of the Firefox complete with graphical and ranking status. Isn't that cool? Below are Sparky features:

Traffic Trend

Sparky's trendline feature allows you to track a website's popularity over time, plotting the traffic rank for the last 4 months on a handy little sparkline.

Reach Meter and Traffic Rank

Sparky's reach and rank features give you a quick overview of a site's popularity. The blue bar gives you an overall indicator - is this site popular or not? The rank number tells you exactly how this site ranks in comparison to all other sites on the Web.

Related Links

Sparky also comes with Alexa's famous patented Related Links feature built right into the browser. Now, no matter what site you are on, Sparky can help you find similar sites.

Click Menu

With a click on Sparky you have immediate access to a wealth of additional information. Do a search for the site, find sites that link to it, see who owns it, where it is located, related links and much much more.

AllPeers Reaches Agreement to Offer Mozilla Firefox with AllPeers Bundle

News from MozillaZine

AllPeers has reached an agreement with the Mozilla Foundation to allow a version of Mozilla Firefox with the AllPeers extension pre-installed to be offered for download.

Originally launched eight months ago, AllPeers lets users share files with their friends and families from within Firefox. Designed to be easy to use with its "Drag-and-Share" operation, AllPeers makes use of peer-to-peer technology (the extension features a custom implementation of the BitTorrent protocol) and employs encryption to ensure privacy and security. The AllPeers site has a Flash tour of AllPeers, which provides more information about how it works.

According to AllPeers CEO and co-founder Cedric Maloux, "Approximately 10% of new AllPeers users download Firefox in order to install our application." As AllPeers has been downloaded over 350,000 times since its launch, this suggests that up to 35,000 people may have downloaded Firefox mainly to use AllPeers (though this figure is probably lower due to upgrades from existing AllPeers users). By making it easier for new AllPeers users to get started and pushing Firefox to users who might not otherwise download it, the Firefox with AllPeers bundle should be a win for both sides.

Today also sees the launch of a new release of the AllPeers extension. Version 0.60 includes a Share by Email feature, making it possible to share files with users who do not already have AllPeers installed. It also introduces an Always On service, which allows users to upload (encrypted) files to a server so that they can be downloaded even if the sharing user is offline. Peer Pressure, the AllPeers weblog, has a post with more details about AllPeers 0.60.

Christopher Beard from the Mozilla Corporation approves of the Firefox with AllPeers bundle. "AllPeers is extending Firefox in meaningful ways for our users by delivering integrated file-sharing capabilities," he said. "Their release of Firefox with AllPeers demonstrates the virtuous cycle enabled by the Firefox platform: users and developers both benefit from the open architecture of our add-ons ecosystem."

This is not the first time that the Mozilla Foundation has allowed a third-party to offer downloads of Firefox bundled with an extension. The most famous example is probably the deal with Google that allows the search giant to offer Firefox with the Google Toolbar included to its users. This bundle has become widely promoted across the Web due to Google paying bounties to AdSense publishers who persuade users to download Firefox with the Google Toolbar.

As with the previous deals, the primary version of Firefox promoted on the mozilla.com site will continue to not include any extensions or other bundled software. Currently, Firefox with AllPeers is only available from the AllPeers site.
