The New CrunchBar
We are pleased to announce a new TechCrunch sponsor.
Conduit has deployed a new TechCrunch community toolbar (dubbed the “CrunchBar”) that includes:
- A newsreader with RSS feeds for every TechCrunch network website to stay on top of our news no matter where it breaks
- Direct access to TechCrunch podcasts (catch up with the Gillmor Gang, for example, now recorded daily Monday through Friday)
- Flickr and YouTube gadgets with TechCrunch photos and videos (plus search and feeds of all Flickr and YouTube content)
- Follow TechCrunch on Twitter and send tweets right from the CrunchBar
- TechCrunch desktop alerts (get alerts when tickets are released for TechCrunch MeetUps, etc.)
- Google web search and search for all of the TechCrunch network’s websites
In addition to these pre-defined tools, you can customize the CrunchBar to add local weather, favorite online radio stations, an email inbox notifier for all your accounts, and more in the future. The CrunchBar is a browser plug-in supported by Firefox and Internet Explorer. Try it out and you might never miss another TechCrunch breaking headline.
