Tiger’s Address Book is out of date as far as MobileMe functionality is concerned. Sure, you can click on the label next to an email address and get a couple of menu items to visit the person’s HomePage or open their iDisk. But what about iWeb or iPhoto’s new Web Gallery?

To overcome this deficiency, I’ve put together a few AppleScript plug–ins that add the missing menus to Address Book. Here’s how to use them:

1. Quit Address Book if it’s running.
2. Download the plug–ins here.
3. Unzip the downloaded archive.
4. Copy the four script files from the expanded archive to the Address Book Plug–Ins sub–folder of your home Library folder (~/Library/Address Book Plug–Ins/).
5. Re–launch Address Book.

Now, when you click on the label next to a @me.com or @mac.com email address or AIM account, you’ll get two extra menu items, like this:

I’m providing these as–is, without any warranties or support. Download them, use them, modify them, pass them around — do whatever you want. Just don’t forget me when I need a lift to the airport.

Update 2008-07-12: The plug-ins now work with @me.com addresses too.
