			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted a universal wish list where I can add any product from any website to it.  There are actually quite a few websites that do this (like <a href="http://www.kaboodle.com/">kaboodle</a>, <a href="http://www.mfli.net/thoughts/wp-admin/www.thisnext.com">thisnext</a>, <a href="http://www.mfli.net/thoughts/wp-admin/www.wishlistr.com">wishlistr</a>), but I don&#8217;t want to signup for yet another account on yet another web2.0 site that will inevitably fail in 12 months.</p>
<p>Today, I found my answer, even though it was launched 3 months ago &#8212; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/universal">Amazon Universal Wish List</a>.  It&#8217;s a bookmarklet that you add to your quick links (or Bookmarks) bar, and it will add anything from anywhere to your Amazon.com wishlist.</p>
<p>But that wasn&#8217;t quite enough, mainly because I hate the bookmarks bar (I think it clutters up the precious real estate on my screen.  So I took a little time, and created a greasemonkey script that adds a button to every page that you can click on.  Of course, you can set up your own inclusion and exclusion lists so that it doesn&#8217;t show up on every page.</p>
<p>To use this, you&#8217;ll need <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/">firefox </a>(2 or 3), <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748">greasemonkey</a>, and <a href="http://mfli.net/files/uwl.user.js">this script</a>.</p>
<p>And of course, here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/EOK8B84CZ76W">my wishlist</a>.</p>
