Tool for the fickle
I am one of the most fickle people around when it comes to Internet sites, tools, and gadgets. I don't even need a reason, I'll jump ship in the blink of an eye.
This is why I love this Firefox add-on for managing your bookmarks, Xmarks.com - I hardly use the regular bookmarks, but it puts a little "i" in the address bar, click it when you are at the website of one of the tools you like, and it will provide a short list of VERY similar sites- I know lots of social bookmarking sites have a feature like this, but the key difference is that somehow Xmarks hones in on sites that are very similar.
Case in point, I have been using MyHq.com for a portable "one screen" most-used bookmark manager for months, (maybe years!) because I didn't see anything similar- but Xmarks turned me on to MyLinkVault.com - Haven't set it up yet but it looks like it does the same thing but the categories roll up, and it's much easier on the old retinas. They are both free.
What other sites will inspire me to turn traitor on my favorite tools? Time will tell.
