Top 30 Google Chrome Extensions to Live Your Best eLife: Part I

Share

Don't worry I am not joining the already crowded league of tech blogger. As my blog promise to help you live your best life, and as most of us live online life 24x7 now-a-days (that's not very good way of living though ), I couldn't resist myself sharing these awesome tools to enhance your eLife (online life)- to make your eTasks easier, faster and more productive. Oh! I forgot- you will get peace of mind too! Turst me. So here comes the list of Google chrome (if you still not using the fastest & smartest browser, shift to it now!)  extensions that changed dramatically my way of living online.


I love this extension because it keeps track of all the things in the Internet I wish for (Books/DVD/Games/Gadgets and lot more...my wish list is a long one). Not necessarily I buy those things from Amazon. 
When you see something you'd like on any website, just click the Add to Wish List button, enter comments in the dialog window that opens, and save by clicking the Add to List button. The item will then appear on your Amazon Wish List.

To view your Amazon.com Wish List or create a new one for use with this extension, go to http://www.amazon.com/wishlist. 
Inspiration: This extension can help you to design your dream list. First step in getting what you want is "knowing what you want".

Now this is a super cool extension which quench my thirst for knowing more. 
After installing the extension whenever you are reading any webpage and want to know more about something, just highlight the word and click "Learn More" pop up button. Voila! You will be shown every relevant information on the net-links, photos, videos,maps, social networking profiles about the topic. Isn't it great? No need to google it opening a separate tab. 


Inspiration: As Robin Sharma says "Only curious survive". In today's world, getting yourself up-to-date with information is very important. 


If you take screenshots (specially if you are a tech blogger or designer) you are using some application for it for sure), keep on installing and uninstalling applications one after another and still not satisfied, your search ends here. 
Best advantage is that no need to install any software, it's just a browser extension, so you can use it from anywhere. 
Let me copy paste [don't mind] the key features from the official extension page:

Key features:
--------------------------------

* Save to desktop, host online, or edit in other Aviary apps.
* Captures instantly.
* Screen capture of the visible portion of all web pages and images. 
* Screen capture entire web pages.
* Add visual notes like arrows, text and highlights to your capture. 
* Crop your capture.
* Resize, rotate and flip your capture.
* Smart select and move of captured elements.
* Grab color information from the page.
* Quick launch 6 Aviary design tools: Image editor, markup editor, vector editor, color palette editor, effects editor & audio editor.

If you are taking blogging seriously and using the blogger platform, this extension is a must have. 
You must have heard the advice from pro-blogger that to build relationship with other bloggers in your niche, you can write followup post on some other blogger's post. For that this extension can be very useful 

Once you add the BlogThis! button to your browser toolbar, blogging will be a snap (or rather, a click). Click the button to open Blogger in a new application window. The new post is pre-populated with a link to the web page you're on, as well as any text you've highlighted on that page. Edit the post to your liking and post it instantly to your blog! 

What can I say about this extension? This extension (and its desktop version) is my absolute favorite all rounder application. 

Whenever you are surfing through webpages, and need to remember something from the page for further reference, this extension can serve your task best. 

Just select the portion of the page you want to remember and click on the extension. You'll get a preview box to select Title, Tag, Notebooks, comments before saving the portion. 

Further you can see the notes taken from Evernote website (you need to sign up for a free account) or from the desktop application. 

Tip: Don't forget to install the desktop version. It will give you some interesting added  functionality like  taking screen shots, it can search texts within images stored in evernote! You can use Evernote as your daily Journal, dairy, blog post editor, photo album, book script or anything you want.

 If you digg interesting articles frequently, this extension can save lot of your time. You can submit any article to Digg with a single click.

Inspiration: You must have heard the advice "Give what you want". So if you have written some great posts in your blog and want other people to submit it to digg, why don't you submit some interesting articles from their blog to Digg first? 



If you are helpful enough to mail everytime any important/interesting articles you find on the net, this extension can be your assistant. 
Select the portion of the  page you want to share and click on the 'mail' button, an email will be created with the "Title of the page as the subject" and selected portion (upto certain extent) of the text and link of the page as the body of the mail. So that you can easily share with others through email.
Note: If you are wondering in the age of Facebook and Twitter who shares through Email, well I do. Because I prefer communicating through Email to all those who are very special for me. Information we share in twitter is mostly lost in the information overload, so if you don't want you friend/colleague miss the article, better send it to email id. 

8. Gist: 
When someone sends me an Email, I prefer to know more about the person, social media presence and love to connect with the person. Wouldn't it be better if you can see a photo and twitter/facebook (and many more info) profile link of person who sends you an Email? This extension provides this function in the Gmail sidebar. 


Tip: Don't forget to open a free account on Gist website. It will maintain all you social contacts at one place. 
Take advantage of the note function to add any note corresponding to a contact for further reference. 

Double click on any word to view its definition in a small yellowish pop-up window. 
You can also view the complete definition of any word or phrase using the address bar dictionary. 





















As much as I love Gmail, I love this extension too. 
You can get notifications of new emails. By clicking on the red mail icon you can preview even view the email without leaving your current page. You can even archive, delete, mark as spam and perform other basic tasks from the drop down box. 
Functionality is customizable and you can have desktop notification if you want. 

Share your experience with these extensions, and stay tuned for the part II & Part III. I will be back with 20 more cool extensions.
