For years I have been using and depending on a certain Firefox Add-on. This add-on has been very useful since I am a visual thinker. It is called Fast Dial and is created by UserLogos.org.

Sounds boring doesn’t it, but it is rather interesting even if you don’t have to run as many meetings as I do.
