Extend Firefox 2 Results are up

The winners of the Extend Firefox 2 contest have been announced yesterday. The contest did end on December 31th of 2007 and saw more than 100 entries. The task was to create a Firefox add-on in time, the prices travel and accommodation to a Mozilla Developer Day, a 15″ Macbook and several others. I don’t think that most participants did enter the competition for the prices though.

The three Grand Prize winners are Tony Farndon from the United Kingdom for his Minimap Sidebar Extension, Massimiliano Mirra from Italy for his SamePlace add-on and Jay Meattle from the United States who created the Shareaholic add-on.

Minimap Sidebar Extension displays a minimap in the sidebar. Maps can be easily created by drag and drop or by right-clicking the information. It’s a real time saver if you have to lookup maps regularly.

SamePlace is a multi-network Instant Messenger add-on that makes it possible to chat with buddies from many IM networks in Firefox.

Shareaholic is a great add-on that lets a user add pages that he visits to popular social bookmarking and news websites like delicious and digg.

You do find 12 runner up add-ons on the website as well which are worth checking out as well.
