# Unknown Blummy Treasures

August 2, 2006

[Steve Rubel](http://www.micropersuasion.com/2006/08/how_to_become_a.html) re-mentions
blummy on his blog. Thanks a lot!

I’d like to take this chance to show you some of the lesser known blummlets (or 
bookmarklets if you prefer). Take a look at how I have configured [my blummy](http://blummy.com/explore.php?user=alex).

**Alexa**

The favorite of my blummlets (and in this case it deserves to be called like that,
as it is an image), is the [Alexa blummlet](http://blummy.com/config.php?query=id%3D2737)
on the bottom. I just have to open blummy on any page on the web and I can instantly
see how much traffic it has (well as far as you can count on Alexa on that).

When you add the blummlet you might want to resize it to fit yours. So first add
it to your blummy, then **resize** the blummlet by **holding shift and drag** from
within that blummlet. Voilá.

**Click2Zap**

[Click2Zap](http://mrclay.org/index.php/2006/02/18/click2zap-bookmarklet/) by Steve
Clay (site is currently down) is something for you if you print web pages a lot.
I dislike reading long texts on-screen (waiting for the [Sony PRS-500](http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/%20INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Print?ProductSKU=PRS500)),
I print blog texts a lot.

Using click2zap you can remove unnecessary text or links from a web page before 
you print it. You can click on a paragraph, a red dotted border will appear. You
click again, it’s deleted. Very neat.

**BlummyWiki**

What [Google Notebook](http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/overview.html) has added
to Firefox, has been possible through Blummy for a long time. Cross-browser.

When you surf around you can use the BlummyWiki to store information you find on
a page for later use. Or maintain a list of your most often visited pages. Most 
useful thing about it is that can use the same blummy account on multiple browsers
and multiple computers.

[Andy Roberts](http://distributedresearch.net/blog/?p=60) already had some ideas
what to do with the BlummyWiki. Check it out.
