One of the main advantages of Firefox over Internet Explorer is the large number of extensions that exist for the Mozilla browser. Not only is the number of Firefox plugins to exceed that number for Internet Explorer, but also to IE add-ons tend to be fairly useless (there are a few exceptions to this rule, of course).

IE accelerators allows you to select some text and search for it, map it or send it by email or to your blog. There is another “jewel” that can make life easier for users of IE. Among them is Accelerator to Twitter, an accelerator for IE8 that allows us to quickly tweet by selecting any text. Select some text on a web page, right click and it will post the text and the URL of the page to Twitter.
