What would you like to see on a Blue Obelisk Firefox toolbar? Here are some ideas, some of which I think are trivial to implement, would be instantly useful and greatly increase our world domination:
(1) Click on the little protein button, and all pdb codes in the text become highlighted, and change into hyperlinks that start Jmol in a popup. This simply requires basic pattern matching for PDB codes. (2) Click on the little blog button, and all DOIs or article names that have been 'chemical blogspaced' get text like "[2 blog comments]", which is hyperlinked to chemical blogspace. (Relies on a chemical blogspace API...does this exist?) This would be especially useful when used on the ACS TOC pages on the web. (3) A drop down menu providing links to various BO aligned websites. (4) A link to the mailing list. (5) Depending on whether we get some reliable web services set up, you could have a button to send put the text of a web page through OSCAR and markup all chemical terms a la Project Prospect. (6) Click on the InChI button, and all InChIs in the text become hyperlinks to google searches (These ideas tie in with recent blogs by Andrew on Web 2.0 and Egon on Greasemonkey.)
