I got it with the latest update. Since you're a second class citizen using windows you probably haven't gotten updated yet. Nick, there is a ff3 mugshot plugin. I got it with the latest update.

I can find a link for it if you want. I noticed you signed up on FriendFeed; I guess now I'll have to go check it out.

It's easier to comment because it doesn't matter what people use, e.g. delicious, google shared, twitter or just use one of their many plugins or apps. http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ You guys should use FriendFeed and create a room for link sharing.

The one thing these two are missing is the ability for others to add comments, but that's why I've started copying them in here. So I guess you could say that blogs are good for the purpose of link sharing, because they provide all the same features PLUS (usually) the ability to subscribe to feeds of updates (comments and new items) so that you can see them all in one place. There are also tools like FriendFeed that will serve a similar purpose, if you're not interested in hosting your own blog and don't care about "owning" your own data. I haven't signed up for FriendFeed yet, so I don't know whether they provide an external feed for comments on your friends posted items, which I do think is important, but if so, then that would be a viable alternative to the consolidated blog approach that I'm currently using. Basically, RSS makes it possible for me to read *almost* everything I care about reading in one place (my RSS reader - currently Google Reader). Therefore, it is a pain when certain services (Pownce and Mugshot) do not provide options for doing that. I'd even be OK with e-mail notifications if RSS feeds are too difficult, but even those are missing out in these two cases, forcing me to take an additional separate step and go to their site / application to check for those updates.

If there is another way to do this that is as effortlessly and quickly as with Mugshot, then I'm open to it. I also really like the Mugshot Stacker. I don't like that there isn't an update for the mugshot extension so that it will work with Firefox 3. Other than that I don't really need anything changed for it to work the way I like it.
