Bookmarks

 Today we're going to be talking about Bookmarks. Bookmarks were the links we used to store for future usage on different services - I know it appears quite perplexing, but there weren't such thing as browser history back then, so you had to rely on special websites if you wanted to save any webpage.

The most popular website for storing links about 15 years ago was del.icio.us or simply delicious. It doesn't work now, but back then it was quite convenient, with a nice friendly web 2.0 interface, with options for sorting links by different tags, etc. For convenience, it was possible to group links into bundles.

That's how del.icio.us.com looked like

In December 2010, a rumor spread about the possible closure of delicious — and the termination of support for this service. That was the time when a lot of new different bookmarking websites took hold. Let us talk a bit more about them.

Diigo.com

In Diigo.com there is a personal space (My Library) where a variety of user information is stored, and it's not just bookmarks! These are the following opportunities:

Notes — you can write text notes and store them online. It is very comfortable.

Highlight — highlighting important places on the page. For example, you need to highlight a key idea on the page, important points, so that later it would be easy for you to remember the essence of the article.

Images — you can save individual images.

My Lists — the ability to sort your data into specific folders. For example, "Social Networks", "Web development", etc. At the same time, there may be different keywords in the folder.

It also has an ability to display the necessary information on your blog with one click. To do this, you need to register your blogs in the system and then just by clicking "Send to Blog" you can easily share the link. Supported platforms: WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal, Typepad, Movable Type, Windows Live Spaces, Drupal.

Top-page

http://top-page.ru/

This service allows you to synchronize with bookmarks from another computer, also offers a search bar and 20 background images to choose from.

This functionality is quite enough to more or less adjust the start page for yourself, put a background image to your liking, a search engine and of course the bookmarks themselves.

Webstartpage

https://webstartpage.ru/

The functionality of this service is supplemented with a weather informer, otherwise it is the same basic features as all services of this subject, an unlimited number of visual bookmarks and synchronization with them.

The first thing that catches your eye is a popup hint, quite informative to master all the subtleties of working with the site, in addition, you can select authorization through popular services, which allows you to skip the registration stage thereby saving time, as well as in the previous service there is a search bar, but already with 10 search engines.

I hope this information was useful! Thanks for attention, see you soon.
