Speed Dial

Wednesday, Jan 26, 2011

Access favorite sites as images and groups in a Web page overview.

Dialing is fast becoming a thing of the past. But the sentiment in the slang from this age-old ritual is still with us. So put your best and brightest sites on Speed Dial and get where you need to go online in an instant.

Install Speed Dial and access it by right clicking on any page. To see an icon in your browser go Bookmarks -> Set as Speed Dial -> Speed Dial Options. Select “Bookmarks menu”.

Start off by adding sites you visit to your first “Group”. Make sure the site you want to save is open and click on the next empty slot in the menu. Ta-da!:

Click on the icon to open Groups:

From this view you can click on sites you want to open and drag and drop to reorder.

Speed Dial has endless options for how you load and open websites—with toolbar buttons, drop downs and other ways to dial. Speed Dial is also automatically configured for weather in your area from your IP address, so that’s good to go.

If you’re looking for an interesting variation on traditional bookmarking, check out Speed Dial.
