Mozilla Labs is at it again (aren’t they always?). This time the dream team is aiming to streamline Firefox users’ experiences with extensions.

Say what? We thought the whole extension process was already pretty easy. After all, it doesn’t take much brain power to click an install button and reboot a browser. But…what if you didn’t have to reboot your browser? What if it were as simple as just clicking the install button? Well, now it is. Enter: Mozilla Jetpack. Blast off.

Amazon Web Services, or AWS (news, site) is has a limited beta out for a new service. Called AWS Import/Export, you will soon have the ability to move your content into and out of the cloud much easier and quicker.

Using Amazon’s high speed internal network, you will be able to move your data onto, or off of, just about any storage device — as long as it meets the compatibility requirements.

It’s not to difficult to understand why you would want this capability, but Amazon does offer a few ideas:

• Data Migration: Loading data into the cloud for the first time has never been faster.
• Disaster Recovery: Using Amazon S3 for storage of your website for disaster recovery purposes? Now you can get your website back up and running faster.
• Offsite Backup: Maybe you want to use S3 to store basic backups, whether full or incremental.
• Direct Data Exchange: Partners send you data on devices on a regular basis? Now they can send that data directly to your S3 bucket.

Traditionally, there are not many companies that build their enterprise on Macs. But for those that do, they may be missing out on the PC-based solutions aimed at archiving, data protection and compliance.

However, there are solutions out there. QStar Technologies is one of them and they have launched their HSM archive platform for Apple Mac OS X v10.5 (Snow Leopard).

Anyone working in marketing will know that while your customers won’t love you for offering poor service, your competitors definitely will. Perhaps with that in mind, SaaS web content management solutions provider CrownPeak (news, site) has really been pushing the customer service side of their business over the past year with at least one notable success.

The success this time comes as a finalist – for the second year running – in the Best Customer Service Department category of the American Business Awards 2009 (the ‘Stevies”). The awards ceremony next month will be the culmination of a judging process that began in March and only finished recently.

Reefs by nature are a nutrient-sharing organism; relying on other habitats for an exchange of nitrogen and vegetation. Perhaps coral reefs were the inspiration for Digital Reef’s new Partner Program.

The Digital Reef Partner Program makes unstructured data management more accessible to companies that can complement their services with Digital Reef technology solutions. This might seem like a win-win situation for Digital Reef (news, site), who after all, secure the customer base of companies while demonstrating their expertise with managing unstructured data.

But it can also benefit those in the enterprise who desperately seek the technology and scalability of a single platform. As well, they benefit from search, analytics, automatic data classification and data management functionalities, which can only make their workflows and document management processes run that much more efficiently.
