This webchicklet is a big fan of Jim Cramer and Mad Money (on CNBC every weeknight) for learning how to profit in the stock market. I’m also a big fan of widgets, so when Jim Cramer came out this week with his Mobile Internet Tsunami index, I got to thinking I should track this amazing collection of mobile internet stocks. So I set out to find a useful stock portfolio widget.

For those that don’t know about Jim Cramer and his show Mad Money, Jim is long time fund manager/trader, with a “unique” energy and personality which he brings to his show, while teaching us viewers how and what to invest in regardless of the current state of the market. He also has a charitable trust called Action Alerts Plus, and has a great subscription service that tells you ahead of time, what he’s buying and selling in that charitable trust. You can get a free trial of Action Alerts Plus, it has been an amazing help in my road to portfolio success.

Anyways, I got to searching for stock portfolio widgets and there are many. This webchicklet could spend weeks going through them all, and I just might! But in the meantime here’s a quick, user friendly stock portfolio widget that I set up to track Jim Cramer’s Mobile Internet Tsunami. The widget is from Sane Bull:

With the stock portfolio widget I am keeping tabs on all 21 of Jim Cramers Mad Money Mobile Internet Tsunami stocks. These 21 stocks are his top picks to ride the wave of mobile internet over the next 3 to 5 years. While some, like Apple, Google, and Cisco, are obvious, some were not so obvious, and yes, some I’d never even heard of! But, none the less this webchicklet totally agrees with Jim Cramer. The mobile internet sector is, and will continue to be, hotter than the tech bull market of several years ago!

Anyays, in addition to the prices of the Mad Money Mobile Internet Tsunami stocks, there are also some other great stock market widgets from Sane Bull including a Market News Widget that lets you track all the breaking market news, so you can be the first to jump into ( or out of ) a breaking news stock:

Or, if you want to follow news on a single specific stock that you currently own, or are thinking about buying, there’s a widget for that:

And, just because everyone and their dog has a Twitter account, keep track of breaking company trends/news via Twitter. Now you can see what stock or mutual fund the masses are discussing, real time on Twitter:

There are several other useful financial widgets available from SaneBull.com, but this should be enough to get you started. They also have several money market widgets, currency trading widgets, commodities and futures widgets, and gold or oil widgets!

And for all you Jim Cramer Mad Money fans out there, no best stock widget list would be complete with the official Mad Money Widget.

And last, but certainly not least, no Jim Cramer Mad Money fan should be without the official Mad Money Sound Board. That’s right, this bad boy has all the official Mad Money sound board sounds used in the CNBC Mad Money show every day. Unfortunately, it’s not been widgetized at this point, but check it out and waste a few minutes before calling your broker and buying up the Jim Cramer Mobile internet Tsunami stocks!

Xoopit Makes Gmail Great!

I’ve been  a big fan and user of Google Mail since the very first few minutes of its existance.  I LOVE IT (yes that does sound weird).  Now I Love Gmail even more with the Xoopit for Gmail Firefox Addon.  And whileYahoo has just announced that they are buying Xoopit, I hope Xoopit for Gmail will continue to be upgraded and supported in the future!

What is so special about Xoopit for Gmail?

• Xoopit improves Gmail search to show you the photos, videos and files that match what you are actually looking for
• Xoopit let you browse photos and videos from YouTube, Flickr, Shutterfly, Kodak and Picasa. Links sent to your Gmail account are automatically collected, saving you the hassle of going to these sites.
• Improved and easy file access in Gmail, means no more misplaced attachments!  This makes me a very Happy Webchicklet!
• Xoopit allows you to quickly share info from emails with friends, Facebook or your blog.
• Composing a message and need to cite some obscure web search result?  No problem, you can do that with Xoopit, quickly and easily!  LOVE THIS ONE! see photo below.
• Xoopit for Gmail Firefox addon give your much more information and contact details about the people in Gmail’s conversation view.

Search results added to new message

As with all Firefox Addons, the Xoopit For Gmail addon is FREE!  In fact you can get Xoopit here.

While you don’t have to sign up with Xoopit, to use the addon, it is in your best interest to take a minute to sign up with them, so that you can view, search and send around the photos, files and videos in your mail.  I like, and use, this particular feature alot, so it makes sense to sign up for free with Xoopit.

Overall, Xoopit, has made my emailing experience much easier, however like everything in life, it is not without compromises.  You will find that it slows down gmail slightly, or alot if you are running on an old and slow computer.  Some Xoopit users have reported a major slow down, but that hasn’t been my experience, and the additional features make life so much easier.   Another drawback for some is that you have to give up your gmail login info to Xoopit.  I know some have a problem with doing that, even though they probably did give it up when they joined Facebook.  I guess it’s always a risk, but it is an acceptable one for this Webchicklet.

As mentioned above, Yahoo has offered to by Xoopit as of July 22, so if you are a Yahoo mail user (ewww), you will soon be seeing some of the Xoopit functionality integrated into your Yahoo Mail soon!

So go on, and give Xoopit a try today, and be sure to post your thoughts on it below.

I woke up yesterday morning, only to realize that the holiday season was looming large. Is it really October already? Anyway, that got me to thinking about holidays, and I realized that it was my turn to host Thanksgiving dinner. So I went in search of recipes and ideas and I stumbled on a cool turkey calculator. This nifty little piece of javascript coding lets you tell it how many adults and children you’ll be feeding on Thanksgiving Day, and it tells you what size turkey to buy, how many cups of stuffing will be needed, and then gives you a schedule for cooking the thing – even when to start defrosting it! What a cool widget!

Of course, that led me to looking for other cool food-related widgets and I thought I’d share a couple of the ones I like here.

Kraft has a downloadable widget that lets you conduct searches on Kraft’s extensive recipe database, without having to launch your internet browser. It also provides reminders and recipes of the day. Pretty cool.

I’m a big fan of the Food Network tv shows, so any widget they provide is worth checking out. This is actually a script that you can put on your own site, and here’s an example (below) of their free recipe widget.

They also have a food trends widget, if you’re into being food-fashionable.

There are tons of food widgets out there. What are some of your faves? And don’t you just love how web technology makes even cooking easier? Sweet.

Image via WikipediaCan you smell the pigskin in the air? Have you already started pulling jerseys and team sweats out of the closet? It’s that time of year again, when football (the American kind) is on everyone’s mind. I don’t know about you, but this webchicklet likes to be able to have instant information at her fingertips about all the games, and there’s no better way to keep track than via the Internet. So here’s my top picks for desktop gadgets, widgets, and browser plugins that will let you follow along with your favorite – and not-so-favorite – NFL and College football teams.


Firefox
First up is a Firefox add-on called SportsFox. SportsFox shows sports scores in status bar of your Firefox browser. All it takes is a quick right-click to get the current scores.

Mac Dashboard Widget
This free Mac widget, called Live Scores, lets you view live scores not just for football, but for other major pro sports as well (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAA football & basketball).

Yahoo Widget
Fantasy Control is a kickin’ fantasy football widget with pre-game news, live scores and stats, and post-game wrapups that make NFL fantasy leaguers drool.

Google Gadget
Google’s own Sports Scores gadget includes scores for Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Golf, College sports, and more.

One of those should satisfy your fall football craving, and enable you to keep up with all the latest scores. Or…you could just buy a whole bunch of TVs.
