Syncronizing Bookmarks across PCs…
A few years ago I loaded up the Yahoo! Toolbar and devoted my PC life to it. That is to say I used it on every PC I owned and loaded it on every PC I visited. I came to rely very heavily on the Yahoo! Toolbar over the years! Then one day I looked at what I was using and realized it had become a pain to keep updating and it wasn’t really offering me anything special. And the worst thing about it was that it was taking up valuable screen real estate. One less line to view loaded Internet pages. It was time to move on.
So with sorrow in my heart and a tug at the heartstrings that was my relationship with Yahoo! Toolbar, I said goodbye and hunted around for an alternative. I tried a few things temporarily, like storing some bookmarks on my home Google page, but nothing gave me that satisfaction and confidence that Yahoo! had.
Then one day I was hunting through all the most popular add-ons for Firefox (as I do from time to time) and I came across an add-on called Foxmarks. It was popular, boasted a lot and seemed worth a try. So I loaded it up, added some bookmarks to it and wrote a note to myself to add it to my Firefox browser at work the following day. All was sweetness and light. I had found myself a new companion. Now I could add a bookmark from either home or work and both sets of bookmarks would stay synced up. Furthermore, you could manage the whole bookmark set either from an option on the Firefox menu, or via the Foxmarks website. It was a simple solution to a not so simple problem.
Anyway, that was all about 3 months ago now, maybe longer. I can’t even remember life before Foxmarks any more. It just works. Use it…
oh, and in case you didn’t get the other message; if you’re not using Firefox yet - SWITCH OVER - it’s a complete no-brainer.
Enjoy…
