Loving Mouse Gestures…
Reading this, I realised that Scoble perhaps does not use mouse gestures, since he refers to a “Back” button 🙂 I can’t remember the last time I clicked on one of those! Maybe when I last used IE. Internet Explorer does not have it. Opera has it by default (perhaps since forever). You can download an extension for Firefox. I use Firefox most of the time, and the All-in-One Gestures is always the first extension that I install. I can’t live without that thing… go back, forward, open a new tab, close a tab… i rarely need any of those buttons. And it’s such a pain dragging my mouse to those buttons.
If any of you are still using the buttons, seriously consider trying out mouse gestures.
System wide gestures using StrokeIt is a better option than browser only AIO.

W/ StrokeIt installed, I do the usual left and rgt gestures to go bk and fwd, ‘c’ to close FF, reverse ‘c’ to close current tab.
While we are on the topic, how about setting ‘z’ to go back and ‘x’ to go fwd ala Opera?
