Bookmarklets for the Web 2.0 Jedi Master

Bookmarklets, in case you're not familiar with them, are bookmarks that perform a specific action. I can't live without these because they speed up my day, especially when you use them with browser keywords. Here's a list of some new ones that I have started to use in the last few months. Just drag these to your bookmarks/favorites bar and you're good to go. For more fun with bookmarklets, be sure to also check out Blummy.

Pocket Tweets Pop - pops up the Pocket Tweets interface for interacting with Twitter. (More pop-ups here)

Twit This - send a web page directly into Twitter (requires you first enter your info on the TwitThis site)

Map This - pops up a window, enter an address and you will take you to the map

Gmail-to-Gcal - takes any selected text in Gmail and converts it into an event

Mobilize Me - great for mobile phones, takes any web page you're viewing and strips away the formatting by running it through the Google mobile transcoder

Share on Facebook - takes a web page and sticks it into Facebook as a shared item

Pasword Saver - for sites that won't remember your login info, click this link then enter your username/password and your browser will never forget it

Take Screenshot - automatically create a screen grab of any public web page you're visiting

Search and Highlight - scans a page for any term you enter then highlights the results

New Doc - creates a new word processing Google Document

Movie Times - enter your zip code and get a list of all the movies playing in your hood

Amazon This - pops up a little window, enter a term and it will run your search through on Amazon

Convert Me - takes any YouTube video and converts it into another downloadable format using Zamzar

Edit in Picnik - pushes a web page's images into Picnik where you can edit and save it
