With support for tags for bookmarks in Firefox 3, perhaps we should start thinking of integrating the two major bookmarking services - Google Bookmarks and del.icio.us with Firefox’s local bookmarks. The thought struck me as soon as I read this on Techcrunch today:
Whenever I use del.icio.us I simply save Web pages from the plug-in on my browser, and rarely actually go to the site. I’d estimate that my ratio of saving things to going to the site is 10 to 1, maybe even 20 to 1.
Quite right; I save to del.icio.us for a number of reasons: reading articles when I have time later, archiving howtos, and so on. But the web interfaces of both GB and del.icio.us aren’t very well-designed, and don’t lend themselves too well to retrieval. So “social bookmarking” is, in practice, a one-way street for several of us.
Enter Firefox 3’s AwesomeBar. By adding the ability to search bookmarks by tags, it is already a readily-accessible, ubiquitous interface to your bookmarks.
Those words to the right of each URL are tags for local bookmarks
Prima facie, it’s a look-no-further solution to the major current online bookmarking woes.
Though, of course, it takes the “social” out of social bookmarking
