Ah, back to Epiphany this week and I came to a realisation. All of the time that I was using Firefox I had completely stopped using bookmarks. Strange I know, but I had stopped adding or even using any of my existing bookmarks. I would instead just leave pages open and let Firefox open then again each time it started. It was during the switch when I realised that in order to continue with the pages I had open in Firefox I would have to bookmark them before I switched. Now that I am back using Epiphany I'd like to let people know about my favourite feature, tag based bookmarks. Instead of placing each bookmark in a folder, you simply tag each one like del.icio.us and a bookmark hierarchy is built automatically. So if you haven't tried out Epiphany recently, or at all. Please give it a try. Now if I could just get Epilicious to sync with del.icio.us properly I'd be very happy. |

FF3
FF3 contains tag-based bookmarking too, I believe. Oh, and you have an SQL error at the top of the post.
Thanks
Thanks, that error only seemed to show when you are not logged in, I may never have seen it :)
epiphany and bookmarks
I agree. After a long diaspora in firefox I too use and enjoy epiphany's bookmarks. I find especially the duplicate and similar bookmarks feature very useful. And if you forget a tag when you bookmark a page you just type ctrl-D again, merge with identical and make your changes.
What epiphany needs (I use 2.20 atleast) is a better bookmarks editor to help the user do more postprocessing and sorting, and making clearing out cruft and organizing smart bookmarks easier.
dumping bookmarks
another thought that came to me;
Almost all bookmarks use is "this is interesting, I'll archive this" and you dump it into a huge container and know you can find it later, if you really want to. The problem is that filing and building the structure of this archive is not very interesting at that point so you just don't do it, and probably you will never get around to it. I have far too many different topics of interest so I have/had far too many firefox subfolders. I think tags help a bit with this, but what you really needed was a small web in your web, in the bookmarks. A web-like structure that linked the bookmarks together, just like the interesting string of links that brought you to the bookmarked site in the first place.
So what I would look out for is something that encourages building a web among the bookmarks, both when filing them but mostly when browsing them.
del.icio.us?
Hi,
Trackbacks don't seem to work?
Anyway check my post about del.icio.us and their wonderful firefox extension at: http://bdeferme.net/node/40
P.S. Which drupal module are you using for the blog? I like the wordpress style url's...
Epiphany
Thanks for the Epiphany info, I'm definitely going to give this a shot. I've been using Firefox for years and was basically doing the same thing you were with my book marks. Sounds like tagging will be much easier.
Epiphany rocks
I only started using Epiphany a few weeks ago. It's awesome.
Firefox
Funny, I do the same thing when it comes to firefox. I have to actually force my slef to bookmark certain pages that I want because out of habit I will just let FF open then for me. I may look into this ephiphany though.
Firefox 3 Tagged Bookmarks
While Firefox 3 does allow you to tag bookmarks, the TagSifter add-on below makes browsing your bookmarks by tags much more intuitive.

Epiphany
Smart bookmarks - the best feature of Epiphany , and it's just a more simple browser than FF
Thanks for post
Informative. I'll surf you blog. Do you want to write more about it?
