We are pleased to announce the first iteration of a Firefox Add-on for Trendrr. With an extension integrated into the browser, our services are quickly accessible and the process of tracking trends has become even simpler. Similar to bookmarking functionality, you do not have to leave the page you wish to track. Simply right click on the page or use our toolbar icon to submit a trend directly to your account.
At this time, there are three main uses of the add-on:
- You can easily track the current URL in your browser as stated above. As an example, if your browser is located at a YouTube video page, the URL will be recognized as such and the add-on will instruct your account to start tracking such information as views, comments, and number of favorites.
- You may also type in a phrase, or use a highlighted phrase, and track these words on many of our data sources such as Delicious Bookmarks, eBay auctions, and Flickr tags.
- Lastly, you can search existing trends that other users are already tracking. After entering keywords, a new tab will open with any user graphs that match the content you are seeking.
We encourage those Firefox users in the Trendrr community to download and experiment with our new tracking tool. As with all newly created add-ons, Mozilla has categorized ours as experimental. In order for the add-on to be available for the general public, we need people to leave us reviews on addons.mozilla.org. The direct link is below. Thanks for your help and enjoy the add-on. We're excited to hear what you think.
