PostHeaderIcon Bookmarks

"Bookmarks" and "favorites" are two words for the same thing: web addresses that users have asked the web browser to remember for convenient access in the future. Microsoft Internet Explorer uses the term "favorite." Most other products, including the very first web browsers and the modern Firefox browser, use the term "bookmark."

PostHeaderIcon Blummy

blummy is a free tool for quick access to your favorite web services via your bookmark toolbar.

It's a kind of drop down menu consisting of widgets (called blummlets) that provide rich functionality.

 

PostHeaderIcon Del.icio.us

del.icio.us

del.icio.us is a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's. You can use del.icio.us to:

  • Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web.
  • Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community.
  • Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite -- they've already done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology, entertainment, useful information, and more.
