BlogRovR

Are you a incorrigible blogger or blog reader? I know quite a few people who spend quite some time reading blogs online. Why not get all your blogs to one place, straight to your browser – this is even better than having a Blog reader. BlogRovR does just that for you. It helps you track and import all your favorite blogs to one place. Do note that it might not work if you have Noscript plug-in installed.

TimeTracker

Or perhaps you spend almost all day online but rarely get enough work done. You need the TimeTracker. This plug in simply lets you know how long you have spent and it does this consistently across sessions. It starts when you start browsing and stops when you do. It’s very handy for helping you to figure out where the majority of your time is spent online, and helping you better manage the time you spend online.
