Shelf 0.0.13

Shelf 0.0.13 is a useful program designed for Mac OS X that looks at the current foreground application, and tries to figure out if what you're looking at corresponds to a person in your Address Book and it'll tell you things about them.

Major Features:

1. Shelf can derive context from the following applications:
   • Safari - looking at the foreground url, and for microformats in the source of the current page.
   • Firefox / Camino / Opera - looking at the foreground url. No microformat inspection here, alas.
   • Mail.app - From the email address of the sender of the currently selected email.
   • NetNewsWire - From the homepage url of the currently selected feed item, the feed url, and microformats in the HTML source of the feed entry.
   • Twitterrific - From the homepage or twitter page urls of the currently selected tweet.
   • Adium - From the IM username of the current conversation.
   • iChat - From the IM username of the current conversation.
   • Address Book - The currently selected person.
2. Adding new data sources is very easy.
3. Shelf displays things about the foreground person, assuming it can find one.
   • Basic address book data - name, email address, real-world address, web pages.
   • Current Twitter status.
   • Current location and time according to Dopplr.
   • Last 4 Flickr photos.
   • Recent entries on their RSS feeds.
   • Recently-played last.fm tracks
   • Various other things
