I think that whenever there's a new update to the AMO site, there should be a link or an icon in the site pointing to the new features. 2. I'm looking at the main page of the AMO site, there's no way for community to get involved except in downloading and adding extensions. 3. I think the site would greatly benefit in having some sort of built in social networking features. Maybe the site can be closer and tie in better with mozilla and spreadfirefox I love the addons site, but I think it can do a little better to reach the community.

]]> Comment on Speed testing your web site with AOL Pagetest by Pat Meenan http://micropipes.com/blog/2008/06/24/speed-testing-your-web-site-with-aol-pagetest/#comment-4652 Pat Meenan Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:19:11 +0000 http://micropipes.com/blog/?p=51#comment-4652 Sorry, we created it for IE because Firefox already has a boatload of useful tools and the bulk of our visitors are on IE (and trust me, Firefox gets plenty of use by devas the sites are being built). We need to create a Firefox version at some point, it just hasn't been on the short list to do. If someone wants to create an equivalent plugin for firefox I am willing to run hosted testing on the same equipment and offer different browsers as a test option. What wasn't presented but is also part of the source package on sourceforge (http://pagetest.sourceforge.net) is the automation harness that we put around pagetest for doing repetitive testing. The results are in a format suitable for databasing and trending/notifying (that part we haven't released as it's really not all that polished and very AOL-specific but if anyone wants to take on building a reporting/alarming interface I'm willing to help out where I can). There's a "Send Us Feedback" link at the bottom of the webpagetest.org site that has my e-mail address if you need to reach me. -Pat Sorry, we created it for IE because Firefox already has a boatload of useful tools and the bulk of our visitors are on IE (and trust me, Firefox gets plenty of use by devas the sites are being built).

Too bad it's for IE only :( Why do so many large companies write tools for IE? We'll just need to create a Firefox plugin that can gather results from ySlow and report them! It is pretty cool. Too bad it’s for IE only :(

We’ll just need to create a Firefox plugin that can gather results from ySlow and report them!

When Laura reinvents search, I'm sure she'll find a good way to solve that. :) Yeah, search sucks because you need to invalidate basically every search that hit on either the old or new version of the data.
