Can you give us the short story on why it's so good?

Just watched your FireDoodle video, wow, I could see myself really using this tool. Also love the name.

Just checked the video out, and very cool idea, good for those of us doing some web researching here and there.  Video does a good job of explaining how to use it though it is a little boring, might want to spice it up to keep interest peeked till the end of the video

The application looks alright.  I don't believe it will be competing against Diigo or Clipmarks anytime soon, but maybe with some work you can incorporate some community features.  I think it has potential, but some of the reasons I wouldn't use it on a daily basis is because I already have a toolbar on my system, and toolbars annoy me.

Do you think it would be possible to work in a single button (like the WOT, or del.icio.us button) and then use all the features through that?  I just don't like toolbars, because screen real-estate is a big thing for me and yeah.  I believe this is true with many other people, and there have been many interesting applications that I have come to see that are like yours, but the toolbar just ruined it for me.

 
So if you can find a way to do a single button in the top left, or maybe a single button down in the status bar (my status bar is filling up though with other stuff,) then maybe it will be more attractive to me, and likely others as well.

(Make one of these buttons instead of the toolbar!)

Your application does give me an idea for an article, and I love those, so maybe I'll do a round up of annotation firefox extensions as my last article: http://www.techindemand.com/2007/08/23/firefox-is-great-but-these-extensions-will-make-it-extraordinary/ was a huge hit.

So, maybe I can help your app get some exposure, and I get some more readers, it all works out

If you promise me an interface without a toolbar in it, I'll be sure to make note of that, as that would make me very happy

Anyways, I'll probably pop back in here soon again.

Ciao for now.

Hi,

I'm having trouble using firedoodle. I've loaded it into Firefox 2.0 and I've registered at the firedoodle site. But, even though Firefox says the Firedoodle toolbar is visible it isn't actually there!

How do I correct this problem? Do I need to uninstall and then re-install?

Thanks,

Firedoodle is hidden until you click the small, unobtrusive icon in the lower-right of the firefox window (if you use Zotero, it's basically the same concept).

That stumped me too, but I found the answer here: http://dsgdev.wordpress.com/2007/05/16/firedoodle-version-06-is-now-available-focusing-stickies-improved-drawing/

It would be nice to have some instructions about that. I almost uninstalled it thinking it didn't work.
