Idea 9: Problem with bookmarks and an Idea


Note : You may have already read similar to this as I found out that some time this year mozilla community posted a similar article.

We create a bookmark so that we can read it later, but the problem with bookmarks in that we never read them. From my own experience, I have more than 2000 bookmarks and I bookmarked those urls because I wanted to read them later.

Now they( at-least some of them) are just used as a replacement of browser history as advanced system care deletes my browser history.

IDEA or Solution :
1) What we can do with bookmarks is to first sync them with all browsers.
Normally a web developer/designer uses atleast two or three browsers in multiple devices. After opera announced "it will move to webkit" some of the web designers would have felt good. (they would feel heavenly if IE does so but that will not happen).
Coming to the point, I use many browsers in many devices if they sync the bookmarks across all devices that would be awesome. Xmarks works in that direction.

2)Do something with bookmarks..
Eg. create homepage from bookmarked urls to show bookmarked stuff (and if urls are actively shared give them higher priority.)
personalize search results with bookmark data (making this functionality will conflict with user privacy though)
scan pages from urls and provide a organized data to user

With that I am closing my discussion, its pretty late.
