diigo - bookmarking service

About a month ago, when I downloaded Mozilla Firefox version 3.1 (still in beta) I lost part of my Firefox bookmarks. Though I were partially aware of that possibility I was lazy enough to skip backing up process of the bookmarks, thinking that my regular hard disc back up is already doing that. I was wrong, since your Firefox bookmarks need to be exported as a file to be backed from the hard disc.

Widgetized bookmarking tool – speedymarks

April 28, 2008

Speedymarks is one more bookmarking and web 2.0 tool, which I found useful. It enables user to store commonly used web addresses in the form of widgets. It is similar to social bookmarking, but here you are bookmarking site as a widget, which provide a preview of the bookmarked site. Ok, picture is worth more than thousand words:

speedymaks-widgetiezd web 2.0 tool for bookmarking

Should I save speedymarks as a home page? Going once, going twice…SOLD! This gives me just one click (clicking home button in browser) from several different frequently used sites. They are now listed as widgets at my homepage. And Yahoo, which was my homepage until this change, is now one click further. Not so far.

With this web 2.0 tool, probably, you can display as many as you like websites, but I suggest keeping it to 10-15 most used. And here is why. Work of speedymarks is based on browsing cookies history. So, if you delete your cookies, that way you will lose your bookmarked widgets, too. So, I suggest keeping speedymarks standard and stored list of sites in notepad. That way, even if you delete browsing cookies, you will easily get your sites back.

You can find pros and cons here, but speedymarks seems pretty useful bookmarking and web 2.0 tool for me. The point is that you can have most used sites at homepage. So, Thumbs up!

This is update >>> now is possible to login and save widgets that way.

Can you score buzz with Yahoo?

April 20, 2008

You will not believe, we have a new bookmarking buzz site. Probably every day, there is a new one. Ok, zip it up! Here is it what is all about.

Yahoo has started a new buzz community – Yahoo! Buzz. It is similar to digg, reddit, or other bookmarks. You place a little button “buzz up” at the bottom of your page, just like “sphinn” “bookmark this”, “share this” buttons. With this bookmark visitors can “buzz up” your story and that way get better rankings on yahoo buzz up network. And that is possibility to run more traffic to the blog or site.

You can buzz up a good story on a news site, a great video, or a terrific blog. A story is ranked based on its buzz score. The buzz score is calculated from votes and sharing via email to friends. And lets not forget, the best for publishers is that the best stories will be published on Yahoo! home page, what can be really stimulating.

As a matter of fact Yahoo is gigantic online network and certainly they know to launch such a community, but we need to wait to see will this be a new dynamite. For now the button is great looking .

At the moment they do not accept new publishers, but there is a state that buzz up will be open for new publishers very soon, and it is possible to join mailing list on that.
