[ddj] Browser Add-ons/extensions for data and other journalistic workflows

Sat Sep 27 19:51:15 UTC 2014

Hello all

I'm a journalist and a researcher in education and technology in
Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The Steering Committee for the
Internet in Brazil organized a course about data visualization in 2013
and I've always been interested in this topic in my daily practice.
Usually we build data visualizations and use them in our course
materials and scientfic articles.

The following extensions in Firefox help me a lot in this work.

MeasureIt
AutoPager
Evernote Web Clipper
Firebug
Fireshot
web developer
Zotero

I loved to hear about TableTool2 and Scraper and will test them out.
