In his article Create Your Own Online Web Page Archive Chris Sherman reviews a new solution to lost bookmarks:
“Furl combines the best features of a bookmark manager and a weblog with your own, permanent online cache of web pages — and makes them searchable, to boot.
Furl (“file URL”) is a promising new service that’s unlike any other I’ve come across. It solves the “disappearing bookmark” problem — pages that for one reason or another vanish, making your bookmarks useless. It does this by actually storing a copy of the page for you on Furl’s own servers.”
I could have used this a year ago
This would have been nice to have before the ALA ‘redesigned’ the website into the nightmare that it has become.
I will give them some credit, they are making improvements. My mother was always telling me to leave well enough alone, too bad the ALA didn’t do just that.
