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:

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. Just like I explained for sputtr, here is the situation pretty the same. So, just like at Sputtr, 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 will have nice collection of commonly used sites at homepage. So, Thumbs up!

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