7 Firefox Extensions to Manage Your Life
Written by Louise Baker   

Firefox logoFirefox is arguably the most powerful web browser available, partly because of its available add-ons, which include plugins and extensions. While these are commonly confused and misunderstood as synonymous, they’re actually different. Plugins help Firefox perform specific functions like playing various types of multimedia files and viewing special graphic formats. In contrast, extensions add to the existing functionality of Firefox, and range from adding another toolbar element to an entirely new feature. There are thousands of available Firefox extensions, but here are just 7 geared toward helping you manage your life.

shopability' - Twintrview with Pamela Hazelton
Written by Tim Stiffler-Dean   

miva_merchant_guide_by_pamela_hazeltonPamela Hazelton has a very simple focus when it comes to consulting clients on their eCommerce websites, and that focus is described in one word; Shopability. Now to me, shopability seems like a pretty broad topic of conversation, so I wanted to find out more from Pamela herself on what she does and how she helps her clients succeed.

The transcript below is from the interview that I had with her about eCommerce, Social Media and Mobile Devices. She has a lot of great insight into how people act when they use the web, and I'm very glad that she was able to have a talk with me about this.

If you have any questions for Pamela or if you would like to get in touch with her about your own projects, you can do so at her website or on Twitter, @pamelahazelton.

If you are interested in following other Developer Interviews, you can follow me at @twintrview or at the hashtag #twtv.

Written by David Towers   

buymobilephones.netYou might have been surprised recently to see mobile phone offers in the UK which look too good to be true: a free phone with an 18 month contract with free line rental via cashback! So the total cost of the phone and the contract after cashback is nothing!

Are deals like this actually too good to be true?

In this post, I reveal my experience of buying a mobile phone contract with cashback redemption from buymobilephones.net...

Interview with Nicholas Patten: Designer Extraordinaire
Written by Tim Stiffler-Dean   

nicholas_patten_interviewI recently was able to have a chat with Nicholas Patten, a designer and video editor out of New York City, about the work that he does. The guy has a lot to say about the web, design, video and work in general, so I thought it would be of great value to the readers at GWP to get a first-hand look into his life and skills.

After you are done reading the interview, be sure to grab the twitter background that he made exclusively for us. It is 1900x1440 and looks fantastic - which is right in suite with everything else he has done.
