Most Usable Bookmark Managers? 88

Posted by Cliff from the one-set-of-bookmarks-for-multiple-browsers dept.
stewartj asks: "I finally got sick of manually updating my large bookmarks collection between the computers I use at work and home. I've got a permanent connection at home and a personal webserver running, so I thought I'd install a bookmark manager. Searches on SourceForge and Freshmeat have brought up too many options to consider, so I thought I'd ask Slashdot readers if they have any recommendations for a good web-based bookmark manager? Is there a better solution to making my bookmarks available everywhere (but still keeping them secure)?"

    I use phoenix. I put phoenix in a shared folder in windows. I export my bookmarks in html format to another share folder. This gives me my bookmarks everywhere, and here is how.

    If I am out of the house and using windows

    I access the share via typing \\mypc.mydomain.edu and then launch phoenix and import bookmarks.html

    If I am out of the house and using *nix

    I access my pc via ssh, launch phoenix using X-forwarding, sftp bookmarks.html over the line and import it.

    If I am out of the house using a Mac

    It hasn't happened yet, but if I buy one of those titanium thingies (which I would if I had my choice of portable computing) It would have OSX, which can SSH and X-Forward AFAIK.

    Problem solved. Same browser everywhere same bookmarks.

      What a load of work. Everyone, look up a nice little program called 'unison'. It uses the rsync protocol to keep two directories in sync. It's even transitive. You can be working on client machine A, synchronize with server S, then move to client machine B and synchronize with server S. client A and client B will be synchronized with each other.

      I use it on a gigabyte of files in my home dir on my desktop and laptop. It synchronizes in less than 30 seconds on a 128kbit link.

      Everything is managed with a configuration file, so you don't need to manually remember what parts need to update and what don't, and where the little bits need to go in the directory tree.

        What happens if you make changes on client A, forget to sync, then make changes on client B? That seems to me like a likely thing to happen unless the sync is either automatic or you are very reliable about remembering to do it (I am not).

        I wrote a crude script that will sync bookmarks A and B, but it's not release quality. A really nice GUI version of that is needed.

This requires no intervention because the assumption is always to add missing branches.

    I would love to use a more robust References database to store my bookmarks. BibTeX is nice. It's not great for my purposes, but nice. Specifically, it does not handle URLs very well. Many of the bibtex style's don't understand the URL field (though I usually stick it in "howpublished"). In fact, there really needs to be a URI Entry (i.e. at the same level as Aricle, Book, etc). Maybe BibTeX is antiquated and a new and improved system for managing references to content is needed. (And this is what is really needed, don't think in the small domain of webpages, think bigger)

    With that, my ideal system would also act as a cache (think google) and give me a way to reference specific parts of the webpage. Squid would probably be useful here. Think how often your bookmarked link gets removed from the webserver. Why not have your bookmark manager save a copy in a cache, for future use.

    Also, when you are only interested in one part of a huge webpage, or wish to refer to a specific sentence, a mechanism for highlighting specific parts of a webpage would be great. I've seen some programs that work like this for changed material (that is, it highlights changes). This would be difficult to implement, but maybe a Mozilla plugin would be sufficient.

    So, ideally, I want a references database that can cache websites, ftp downloads, etc, etc, then take that cached content and mark parts of it for specific referencing. When I view the database, I can go directly to the content, or go to the highlighted cache.

    -----

    More on topic, perhaps: I suggest you treat google as your bookmark manager. It really is easier this way, if your memory is good. For many things, you just think about what you are interested, type it in google and on the first page or two is the link you visited last week. Or maybe you need to remember something close to the title of the website. Google is your friend, it'll help you out if you aren't exact.

    This doesn't work well for hard to find pages, for pages you don't access very often or if you have LOTS of links. But, hopefully there aren't many of those links that you need to store.

    I use a combination of above. Projects (both those at work and at home) have BibTeX databases for long term access and documentation. Short term interests and those websites I access often are kept in my mind, though I have to google for them some times.

    Hi!

    Great timing on your question. I just wrote SiteBar, which is a very convienent, low-demand server based bookmark organizer.

    The nicest bit, is it's made to run in the Mozilla/Netscape Sidebar, but can just as easily be run in a main window.

    Looks just like your bookmark folder. I'm working on a Mozilla importer, so stay tuned.

    Sign up to use mine at:
    http://www.mindslip.org/sitebar

    or go get it at:
    http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sitebar

    Hope it's as addicting to you as it is to me.

  • If you use multiple browsers and you want identical bookmarks in all of them, then get Bookit. [everydaysoftware.net] $12 shareware, I paid for it within 10 minutes of trying it out.

    It lets you edit your bookmarks, and will sync the bookmark files of the following browsers:

    Safari
    iCab
    MSIE
    Mozilla
    Navigator/Chimera/C amino/whatever they're calling it this week
    Netscape
    OmniWeb
    Opera

    If you want to put the same bookmarks on additional Macs, you can do that as well, with a little work.

    Bookit also gives you the option of putting bookmar
  • Anybody use Powermarks from kaylon? What's interesting about this little program is that instead of using the default tree view for storing your bookmarks, you associate each BM with a few keywords. Makes searching and categorizing much easier, and it's very fast too. Unfortunately, it's only available on windows. Maybe there's a linux close out there... On the other hand, I'd like to hear for your experience with the few online bookmarks managers available. Which one's got the best/most important features?
  • This is what I use currently.

    Free
    Extremely fast
    Good user interface
    Upload, Download feature so that you can synce between diffrent locations.

  • I use Slashdot to store to my bookmarks. :)

    Active PHP Bookmarks [freshmeat.net]
    Bookmarker [renaghan.com]
