Do you have more than one computer that you use frequently (a work computer and a home computer for example)? Do you surf the internet on those two computers? Do get tired of copying bookmarks or wish you had the bookmarks of one on the other? Well here you go!
This is a service that you have to register for, but once you do, you can store active bookmarks in their system. You can go anywhere, to any computer and access your stored bookmarks (for example, mine are here And adding bookmarks is really simple, too. Once you’ve registered, you get a custom link that you have to bookmark (locally). Once you find a web site you want to add to your bookmarks, you click on that one local bookmark and it temporarilly takes you to an “Add” page that allows you to edit the page info before saving the new bookmark and sending you back to where you started. Its nearly seamless and fairly unobtrusive.
The best part is, the bookmarks page has its own RSS feed. Why is that cool? Well let me tell you. If you’re using Firefox, you can actually add an RSS bookmark to Firefox’s toolbar which will in turn create a pulldown menu to show you all the entries on that page. Since all the entries are you’re bookmarks, it basically creates a dynamic bookmarks menu for you. So it appears as if you have a regular bookmarks list, but it’s all stored on the internet – safe and sound and always accessible.
Try it, you’ll like it.

del.icio.us is, well, delicious…
But have you found “Backpack” yet?
If you have a project that you are, for instance, doing with another person or even by yourself. It’s an awesome way to keep track of what to do, what needs to be done, who’s doing what, etc…
Hey, that looks awesome! I’ll have to try it out 😉
Glad you like it man, and glad that post was meaningful to someone.
