Storyful Multisearch: With this plug-in (a relaunch) from social newswire Storyful, you can enter a topic and click just once for a simultaneous search of Twitter, Vine YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram and Spokeo. Click any one of these (they show up on one page) and the results for the specific network will open up under a different tab. 

Google Translate: A world connected by social media means news from abroad can travel quickly online but most often in an unfamiliar language. Meet your plug-in interpreter,

RevEye: Other reverse image search tools, such as Google and TinEye, are available but RevEye searches both these databases plus Bing, Russia's Yandex and China'a Baidu.
