Useful Bookmarking Service

I’d like to tell you about a service I recently came across. I’m sure you are all aware of the favourites (Internet Explorer) or Bookmarks (FireFox) feature found on most browsers. Whenever you come across a site or particular page you are interested in, you can simply add it to your list, ready for recall the next time you need it.
BookmarkAll.com takes this idea, and progresses it to the next level, adding several very useful features, whilst retaining the familiarity and simplicity of your existing bookmarking system.

So, what are these new features? For those users who still use Internet Explorer 6, I’d particularly like to draw your attention to the fact you can add RSS feeds to your BookmarkAll list. No other (online) bookmarking service currently offer this feature. If you want to check if this blog has any more posts since your last visit, for example, you could simply click on the RSS feed bookmark, and a list of my most recent posts would appear.
This saves time, and if, like me, you have a limit on your downloads per month, will also help you, as you won’t use as much bandwidth, just to check if there are fresh posts. If you have any questions about RSS in general, feel free to leave a comment here. If you’d like to know more about how the RSS feature is such a great asset to the BookmarkAll system, please check their helpful explanation here.

The portability of the service means you can be anywhere - your friends house, at work, even on the opposite side of the world, and still have easy & convenient access to your favourite sites & news feeds, for example.

If you find that the type of site you visit may raise eyebrows at work - for example, you enjoy reading left-wing or liberal articles, and your boss is of a diametrically opposed belief system, you can keep your list away from prying eyes with this service.

Once you install their toolbar (available for both FireFox & Internet Explorer), you can easily access your bookmarks with just one click.

For a typical example of how the service will look, please see the following image…

Another interesting fusion of ideas is that this service can, if you wish, utilize the social side of public bookmarking. If you wish to expand your horizons, on a particular subject, then you can check what sites other people look at, that are related to the same subject.

So, give the service a go, and see what you think.
