Facebook Video Player Watch Videos and Read Posts Simulatnaeously

Facebook Video Player is, as its name suggests, a chrome extension that allows its users to play Facebook videos without having to put their Facebook browsing to pause. What actually happens when you want  to watch a video on your wall is that the moment you start playing it, you can no longer scroll down or up because you will not be able to see the video. This is a feature that bothers many users and I am one of them too. I do not like to spend several minutes doing nothing but watching a video, sometimes the video is only audio and does not really deserve that pause.





If you are a Chrome user which I hope you are given of the importance of Chrome, then you will no longer have to paralyse al your Facebook activity to watch a video. Using Facebook Video Player will enable you to both  watch a video and  scroll   down through your Facebook posts.

After you install the add-on and restart your browser. You will see that any video you will play within Facebook will be shifted to the right pane away from the centre posts section.Go ahead and check your posts while the video is up there playing. I think you might be in need of such a tool too. Head over to Chrome store and install Facebook Video  Player.

PowerInbox Check your Social Networks Right from Your Email Account

PowerInbox is a great web tool. It allows its users to check their Facebook, Twitter or Groupon accounts instantly and withouth the need for extra clicks and tabs. Normally when you get a notification from Facebook or Twitter it gets to your inbox in the form of an email that you need to click on to read and then click on the link inside to access the source website from which the emaile was issued. To save yourself some clicks and to avoid opening up new tabs on your browser you need to use PowerInbox.




Poweinbox is easy and free to use. What it actually does is adding up few powerful tools to your inbox. These are smart extensions that are compatible with both Firefox and Chrome. PowerInbox works  with the most famous email servers like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail , and Outlook. Once you get the extensions installed , then whenever you are reading an email from Facebook and  Twitter a box will open up.





For Facebook, you will be able to comment back on posts and for Twitter the box lets you  tweet and follow back.





Now busy educators who have several tabs already opened on their browsers can use PowerInbox to quickly and instantly check their social networking email notifications and respond to them without having to move to extra tabs. This is indeed a handy and practical tool that I recommend for you. Try it out and see.
