Two posts in one: Firefox 2.0 rocks, and MyBlogLog makes me feel cool

I’ve been blogging like hell these past few days, and since I’m spending all day at the Blog Business Summit, I guess that makes sense. But even with all this posting, I’ve let two topics fall by the wayside, so I’m going to wrap them up in the same post.

First is the release of Firefox 2.0. I’ve been using it since Wednesday, and it’s been flawlessly awesome. I like the new tab look, I love the built-in spell-checking, and they have this really cool feature where they try to stop you from putting info into a fraudulent site:

Firefox, with features like these, is really stepping out of the “techie” user-base and moving more into the mainstream, which is awesome, because Firefox is the best browser I’ve used, and I’ve used (well, use) a fair number of them.

Also, if anyone’s noticed how well FF2.0 is running on a Mac (specifically, is it as fast as Opera & Safari), that would be interesting to know.

Secondly, MyBlogLog, which I installed on my site early Wednesday morning, hasn’t showed a ton of visitors to my blog since then, but it has shown a disproportionate number of really cool bloggers looking at my site.

I just noticed that Fred Wilson stopped by. I’ve been reading A VC for about two years, and it’s one of my favorite blogs and is frequently inspiring. I hope he comes back.
