Reddit Updates Widgets, Launches FireFox Plugin, and Updates Their Site

Every time I talk to the guys at Reddit, they are mentioning yet another change, feature, or addition to their site. I really don’t know how they find the time to do it all, with having only 5 people (6 now actually since they hired Erik the “Manager of Community”).

A lot of it has to do with the huge success they have had in making their site code open source.

With the addition of the FreePOPs download, Thunderbird accesses your Hotmail email with no trouble. FreePOPs is a free download web email access tool that accesses your Hotmail email through the POP email protocol. This application connects your Hotmail account with the Mozilla Thunderbird email program so you can access and read Hotmail through Thunderbird.

Mozilla Messaging has released the third alpha of upcoming Thunderbird 3 (code named Shredder). Originally planned as a beta, the Thunderbird team reversed its decision as there’s still plenty of work to be done including the most expected integration with the Lightning extension to provide calendaring features.
This alpha brings a few interesting improvements like the inclusion of some common controls (like reply forward and delete) to the message preview pane, and the option to add a contact to the address book by starring it.
