Personal Information Managers
| Tip #1 | Don't limit your saved bookmarks and favorites to one machine. |
|
| Background: | I use several machines in the course of my work. I have a business computer, a development computer, and a testing computer(which is my personal home computer). In the process of keeping track of sites I found that were interesting or used for work, I would copy url's on a piece of paper so when I moved to another machine I would type the url to find it again. Since saving bookmarks only saves them on the current machine. Rather than keep moving back and forth from computer to computer messing with pen and paper, I decided to save my bookmarks online. This way, any computer that has access to the web(which you need to access your bookmarked sites), has the ability of sharing saved bookmarks from a single computer of mine(whether my work computer or my home computer). I use BookmarkAdmin - A Online Free Bookmark Manager. I have to admit, I'm a little biased since I built this for my purposes, but one good thing is, that you now know that a real person is behind this bookmark manager, and very willing to listen to your requests and suggestions for future features. Enjoy. |
