I just found the coolest add ons to Firefox today, AideRSS Google Reader integration and Post Rank. These two extensions are making my life SO much easier. I’m sure many people have already found these two extensions and are using them but for the sake of those that have yet to discover them, here are a few reasons why these two extensions should be in your Firefox.

1. Skimming your Google Reader feeds becomes so much easier. I really like that I get a ranking for each post in my Reader.  It makes it so much easier to skim and get to those posts that people are bookmarking. I have to say using this feature has really cut down the time I spend reading posts.  I’m able to get to the really important things right away rather than hoping I find them.
2. Getting an RSS feeds of your feeds is very simple. I’ve used Yahoo Pipes in the past to get a feed of feeds but I have to say, this is SO much easier than that.  I just downloaded my Google Reader OPML file and uploaded it to Post Rank and now I have feeds for each tag I use.  I can see a lot of uses for this, one of them being getting the feed and using it on a Netvibes dashboard.  So much easier and less time consuming than Yahoo Pipes.

1. Page ranking everywhere you “surf”. I like this feature because now any where I go I can see how that page ranks.  It’s just so simple.  In the picture below the page I went to was ranked 8.1.  What a quick and easy way to see how pages I go to are doing and what others think of the information.
