I have found these two bookmarklets to be incredibly useful and offer them here without warranty ... I have tested these on IE and hopefully soon on Firefox.
The first one is FurlInfo. It looks up the current url in your browser and displays the number of times it has been furled, and a quick summary of similar items that were furled by the users that furled that page. Whew. Sorry about the long sentance.
The second one is similar. FurlMoreLikeThis displays the complete set of related furled documents based on the category of the furled page... provided it is furled. The underlying furl service appears to use the categories that group furled pages to search across related items. Its pretty neat because it usually means someone has actually put eyes on the document and made relevancy decisions. I have found this to be a higher quality way to search than using google's similar features.
To use them, simply drag and drop them into your bookmarks in either Mozilla/Firefox or IE. If you are interested in furl, you can sign up for it here. Use in good health and please email me at etaekema-at-earthlink-dot-net if you have trouble with them.
The bookmarklets checkout ok on firefox 0.9.1.
