blummy is a tool for quick access to one's favorite web services via the bookmark toolbar.

It's a kind of drop down menu that consists of small widgets, called blummlets, which can be customized and make use of JavaScript to provide rich functionality (such as bookmarklets).

blummy works on almost every page on the web. This is established by loading a small piece of JavaScript to the currently loaded page.

Users can add their own bookmarklet or choose from already listed ones like: Search with Wikipedia, Add to del.icio.us, Technorati This

Handy for people using Web 2.0 services like del.icio.us, flickr, technorati.

Technical details

blummy is configured by dragging and dropping so called blummlets to their own blummy. These blummlets are usually just JavaScript links that are equivalent to bookmarklets. They can also be images which is for example used to display the Google PageRank of the current page.

Displaying blummy in the current page is done via DOM Manipulation: a script tag (see HTML scripting) is inserted into the current page. The same origin policy (see cross-site scripting) does not count for the src attribute of script tags.
