Online Bookmark Manager Suggestions? 78
nonLocal Bookmarks asks: "I have been looking for an online bookmark manager to allow me access to my bookmarks at various computers. There are a bunch of them out there, but most of them use the traditional tree structure. I am looking for something that lists everything cleanly on one page. The only one I can find so far that does this is SiteJot. But this site is missing a few other features I am looking for. I was wandering if any Slashdot readers could recommend a good bookmark manager?"

All of that is produced by these tags ( which are probably overkill)
Re:I know of something perfect for this. (Score:1)
What might be helpful is a simple plain text file format such as:
-- Heading
* http://url/ Title Text
This could then be converted into HTML automatically. I think txt2tags [google.com] is one such tool (with a somewhat different input format).

What I've been using is a shell script, but its not efficient at all, it does however handle adding bookmarks from multiple computers pretty well.
There is a script called poll bookmarks, which checks to see if the bookmarks.html on the ftp server is newer than the local one, if it is, then get gets that copy.
Then another script that uploads a new bookmark. which chec

Write a search agent to modify the search result page so that links you had previously bookmarked are shown right at the top and marked obviously. Bookmarks could be pulled from your local machine and/or from a networked location.
That way you never have to think about your actual bookmark list and you don't have to search a list which might not have the answer you want. Just use your favourite search engine as you normally do. Too

If you go to the download tab, it can export as a bookmark file, which can be automatically opened in a new window, giving you the single page you want.
A recently added feature is a weekly email of your bookmarks, so if the service does fold, at least you won't lose too many links.

Not only can you get your bookmarks from anywhere, but you can also share them with the rest of the world.
Even better than that, if you use firefox ( which I hope you do ) your bookmarks are stored as an html file. Just put this html file in any web accessible place, and you can visit it and whoah! your bookmarks are there.
I know another one. Get a USB thumb drive and carry your bookmarks with you.

For Firefox and IE I've taken advantage of the way they handle javascript to implement a quick add button - you can be on any site and click one of your quicklinks to add the site you are looking at to your online links database. It's a work in progress, and right now links can't be edited or deleted, but those features are very much on my to do list. If it doesn't do s

Thei reminds me of a story I tell to illustrate how idiotic my "years in the valley" were. I was working for this "dot.com" and on a lunch break at the local Bagel shop (you know the one...in that little shopping mall in Redwood shores next to the Starbucks...)
I was just sitting down to enjoy my lunch when I overhear a conversation:
Guy1: So they store the Bookmarks ONLINE and can access them wherever they are. The VC's think its a go, and are willing to shell out the 4 mill to get it going!
Guy2: Can't you just export the bookmark links to a file and save them locally as an HTML page? Carry that one file with you and just maintain the updates locally? Why would anyone want to use this as a Service...much less Pay for access??
Guy1: Did you not hear me...? Its gonna be ONLINE!. People will flock to it for that reason alone. We should have the capital by the end of the week!
Guy2: Still sounds like a stupid idea to me....
Just though I would share... ;-)

It's meant for a browser's sidebar, and integrates tightly with IE [sitebar.org], FireFox (via XPI) [mozdev.org], Opera, and of course Mozilla.
It also runs in it's own separate window, in the body [sitebar.org] of the browser, or even as an embedded section of any web page or blog app!
You can display your bookmarks with any of the included plug-ins, which include the standard multi-folder tree, an RSS feed [brablc.com], and a Google/Yahoo-like [brablc.com] layout, which is

I store firefox on a hi-speed usb 2.0 drive. With a custom script (on Windows: yes, a .vbs file - I could have used a batch script but I didn't want a dos window), you can store your profile on the drive. This way I can carry everything with me - my bookmarks, history, and other nice things.
USB drives are useful for more than just firefox. I store some useful Java programs like jEdit [jedit.org] and Saxon [sourceforge.net]. I even have a copy of Cygwin [cygwin.com] for GNU hacking in Windows. Just learn how to use the windows scripting host.
