Takumi's Blog

My friend Aki just posted about a new service called “Think Pocket“, and it’s looks more like Mac OS X’s dashboard that comes over your webpage if you click on the bookmarklet.

I personally didn’t like it that much. The GUI was very nice. But I didn’t feel the features were that useful.

Two things that I use instead are Google Bookmarks, and Google Notebook.

Google Bookmarks is of course a bookmarking service. If you have a Google or Gmail account you can easily access it (I think you need to have Search History enabled though, I’m not sure).

And I have it setup with one bookmarklet that opens up my bookmarks list, while another is an easy “New Bookmark” bookmarklet. You can categorize them using tags, and there’s a specific one that lets you show whatever is in that category on your Personlized Home Page for Google.

Google Notebook is very useful if you are doing research. The Firefox plugin that comes with it pops up in the bottom right corner of the window, and you can just add a link to a “notebook” (like a category), or you can even copy text and images to it to view later.

I highly recommend both.

I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.
