A while back someone in the search community recommended I get a form fill extension for Firefox. The way it works is that in the admin panel, you fill in stuff that most web forms ask. The next time you need to fill in a form, you just click the extension’s icon and it fills it in for you. Nice for commenting and checkout forms etc.

What didn’t occur to me is that the tool, since it also lets you set custom fields and values for them, can be helpful for directory submission or registering social media profiles (it doesn’t, unfortunately, break captchas).

This is great both for link building and reputation management, as well as preventing phishing by users posing as your employees on social media networks.

Here’s the one I’m using, though there are several around:
