Using the Backpack Firefox Plugins

Yesterday on Downloadsquad they had a post about two Firefox plugins that interact with Backpack. You can get the plugins here.

Backpack by 37Signals, is an easy to use notes, todo list and productivity organizer that comes with some extra bells and whistles for paying customers.

Here's the Projectizer public page on Backpack.

The Backpack Pages plugin provides quick links back to your Backpack Pages via the toolbar:



The Backpack Publish plugin allows you to select text on a page and send it to your Backpack Notes, ToDo List or Reminders.

 

To get started you'll first need a Backpack Account, you can sign up for free here.
Once you singed up take some time to get familiar with how Backpack works. 

Next you'll need to install the two extensions: Backpack Pages and Backpack Publish

This is a two part process: 1) install the extensions and 2) configure them with your Backpack API Key

I'll assume you've installed Firefox Plugins so I'll skip that part.

The next item you'll need is your Backpack API Key which you can find at the bottom of your Account page.

Backpack Pages - Options
 

Backpack Publish - Options

After you enter your keys you'll need to restart Firefox.

Now go find some text and send it to your Backpack via the Publish Plugin.
