Lifehacker Top 10: Top 10 Useful Bookmarklets

  • 7. BugMeNot


    top10_bugmenot_scaled.pngIf the web has more of anything these days (besides, you know, that), it's sites with login requirements. If you just want to check out a service or read that regrettably registration-required article, BugMeNot is your one-stop shop for borrowed free web site logins. Click the bookmarklet to fill out a user-submitted site's username and password fields. BugMeNot's been around for a long time, and it's hard to find a site not covered by its helpful submitters (Original post).

  • 1. TinyURL


    top10_tinyurl.pngFor all the clones, mutations, and specific-use hacks of this service, TinyURL has become arguably the most recognized link-maker for the web's most awkward and lengthy addresses. Keeping its bookmarklet at hand cuts down on mangled email links, gives you more room to write in Twitter and Flickr cutlines and other tight spaces, and creates links you have a fighting chance of actually remembering. This bookmarklet lands you at a TinyURL page, which offers both a preview-enabled shortlink (more on that here) and all the info you'll need. Keep this one next to Embiggen for total TinyURL control (Original Embiggen post).
