The Ultimate Print-Friendly Tool
I am really getting tired of web pages that don't have "Print Friendly" options. Pages that can't print cleanly are a definite irritation to me. And what about pages that have a lot of extra ad images -- who wants to print those out?
Now there's a cool free tool that will make literally any page you visit Print-Friendly. It's called Print What You Like, and it does just that. Just plug in the URL of the page you want to print, and PWYL loads into a left menu. You have several options - Remove Background, Remove Images, Remove Selected, and expand or narrow selected items. When you have removed what you don't want, just click print, and a clean copy will emerge from your printer.
If you don't want to visit the PWYL site every time, they also have a nifty bookmarklet you can just drag to a toolbar, so you're only one click away from making your page Print-Friendly.

TinyURL for Google Searches
I use TinyURL all time time -- it's a great tool for shortening URLs so that they don't take up so much room in an email, newsletter, Twitter post, etc. The company Look.fo wants to do the same thing with Google searches -- it creates an instant link to any Google search. For example, if I want to send someone a list of the results I got when I searched for "subprime lending," I just run my query at Look.fo, and I get this link:
http://look.fo/"subprime-lending"
In contrast, here's what it looks like if I just copy and paste the actual results from Google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=subprime+lending&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS259US259
Look.fo isn't necessarily a life-saving tool, but it's still a pretty cool way of getting information to people.

Finally, a Firefox Extension Just for Legal Researchers
I'm a little behind on posting things to my blog, so I'm not the first to mention this great extension for Firefox users. It's called Jureeka, and it's the brainchild of Michael Poulshock, a public interest lawyer in Pennington, New Jersey. The extension is designed specifically for lawyers and legal researchers: it turns legal citations in web pages into hyperlinks that point to online legal source material. Michael says that Jureeka is "great for quickly locating statutes, case law, regulations, federal court rules, international law sources, and more.
I'll be taking a closer look at Jureeka over the next few weeks. You should, too.
