I’ve had opportunity to try out Conduit.com to create a toolbar for a client. Conduit’s toolbar is easy to assemble, just create an account and select which features you want to add. RSS feeds, an email notifier, and weather are a couple of the items I started with. Now that I’ve lived with my sample toolbar for a couple of weeks I’m hooked on the convenience – not that toolbar’s are new to my browsing habits – in fact, I’m very fond of the Facebook toolbar. But what I’m thinking is, why not make a toolbar just for me?

While the intention of Conduit, and others like them, is to create a toolbar for mass distribution to your audience, I may just build one for myself. Just me. That may be a side effect of making it so easy to build. Everyone can build their own, custom, personalized browser toolbar because they make it so easy. Toolbars for everyone!
