Simplifying web-based processes with CoScripter

“ IBM has a very cool Firefox-only plugin called CoScriptor which is sort of a macro recorder for Firefox:

 There are a variety of scripts available for perusal, use, and editing. Scripts that get created using co-scriptor are automatically re-archived for others to use. 
 It could easily be used to automate a lot of support functions of the sort: 1 – go to this site 2 – click on this button 3 – type your university ID into this text box 4 – now click on submit 3 – now type in "change your email final delivery point: 4 – etc 
 All the above can be scripted with CoScriptor. 
 Jon Udell interviewed Tessa Lau, one of the investigators about the project (formerly called Koala). http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/06/11/a-conversation-with-tessa-lau-about-project-koala/

 Very interesting concept and implementation."
