I have added in Fast Dial which is my favorite, resizeable textarea, foxmarks to keep my bookmarks synchronized between my mac and pc. I have downloaded several others but the browser started crashing so these are the only ones I currently have enabled.
This is something that I am currently investigating. My concern is for the security of the authentication credentials passed through Facebook to Blackboard, Inc. then to local instance.
I’m sure that students would love this tool since they would get updated information on Blackboard without having to log in several times throughout the day.
Latest course case: Contempt that new version 8.3 of D2L still violates Bb’s patent.

It sounds like Bb is trying to force D2L into an unwanted takeover. Blackboard attorney Matthew Small states:
“We have all along said and continue to say, and mean, that we don’t want to do anything that will disrupt D2L’s clients, so if D2L should be held in contempt or sanctioned or if it should go bankrupt … we would hate to see a D2L school inadvertently shut down unexpectedly because D2L does not survive, and we’re committed to working with the schools to help them find a non-infringing alternative that is on their budget and on their time frame and of their choice,” he said.
