Linky

Linky is a Firefox extension that I use to double-check the links in blog entries. On a Web page displaying an entry I've written, I select the chunk of text that contains all the links I want to verify, then do Right-click -> Linky -> Open Selected Links in Tabs.

As seen in the screenshot, Linky previews the links it will open. In this example, the preview window displays all 21 of the links included in my Bloglines entry. When I click Open selected links, it sprays the pages addressed by those links into 21 Firefox tabs. From there it's a snap to review and dismiss each of the tabs.
