Manage Bookmarks
Bookmarks refer to Internet URLs which you
can revisit later without remembering their
addresses.
The first bookmarks are early innovations of Mosaic browser. They were represented as plain list of URLs saved in a Bookmark menu. Needless to say, first users were highly restricted in managing bookmarks: they could not sort them; new websites were added at the bottom of the list. As a comparison, today’s web browsers and third-party bookmark managers provide users with a much wider range of features to manage bookmarks.
A brilliant idea of making Bookmarks enables you
to easily revisit websites which you like. You
can gather a list of necessary websites and
build up a library of favorite and most useful
findings.
You can add and manage bookmarks using
your browser’s bookmark menu. Or, you can take
use of third-party bookmark managers which add
essential functions to manage your bookmarks
easier, such as import/export capabilities with
major browsers, searching features, advanced
management, and others.
Here are several suggestions on how to manage
bookmarks efficiently:
1.Managing bookmarks implies deciding on a set
of categories which correspond to your major
activities and interests. If you use a browser’s
Bookmark menu, you might have noticed that it
has a built-in list of categories. You should
better create your own one in order to avoid
cluttering your bookmarks by websites which you
do not use.
2.If you have created a long list of categories
and do not want to get lost in them, simply move
the ones which you use more often to the top of
list, and arrange the rest ones in an
alphabetical order.
3.Subfolders. When the number of your bookmarks
in a category rises beyond twenty, you should
add subfolders. Keep in mind that by adding
subfolders, you make it much easier and faster
to find the needed bookmark.
4.Create a special category or a folder named
Inbox. Here you need to add just created
bookmarks which have not been classified yet. It
helps not clutter your Bookmarks collection with
temporary links.
5.All major web browsers allow adding
separators. Use separators to divide different
sets of bookmarks.
6.Each time when you save a bookmark, do not be
lazy to add a short description and several
keywords. Otherwise, you risk forgetting the
purpose of this bookmark, and would waste more
time on remembering it.
7.Once in a while, take some time to manage
bookmarks and do a little housekeeping: delete
out-of-date bookmarks, create new folders or
subfolders, sort and organize new bookmarks.
There is no reason to say, the more you neglect
them, the more difficult it becomes to manage
bookmarks in future.
It seems the process of managing bookmarks is
rather boring and tedious. To make your work
with bookmarks easier and painless, we have
designed an innovative bookmark manager with
thumbnail images – Tidy Favorites. Manage your
bookmarks visually and forget about plain
text-links.
