Do You Still Use Browser Bookmarks?

By Gina Trapani on May 15, 2008 at 7:30 AM

In the age of social bookmarking and blogs, old fashioned browser bookmarks (or “Favourites,” as Internet Explorer refers to them) are teetering on the edge of obsolete. When you can save a bookmark at, say, del.icio.us, tag it, and have it accessible from any computer, storing a link in your browser seems almost archaic. Adam uses Gmail to save and search his bookmarks; I use Firefox’s toolbar for bookmarklets and I’m partial to Firefox keyword bookmarks that turn the address bar into a command line. What about you? Is your bookmarks manager stuffed full of links, or has bookmarking URLs become a thing of the past? Fess up your bookmarking habits after the jump. Photo by WordRidden.
