Ever come across an interesting headline that you just don't have the time to read? If you're using Google Reader, you can just star an item to come back to it later. But if you're just browsing the web, you might want to mark a page for coming back to without going so far as to create a bookmark. Read it Later is a Firefox add-on that lets you create a reading list from interesting links. Once ...

First there was the web browser bookmark. Then there was the web-based bookmark. Now HYPERiGO wants to go one step further with an online bookmarking site that includes site screenshots and an attractive, easy to navigate interface. Overall, it reminds us of the speed dial feature in the Opera web browser. But HYPERiGO isn't confined to a single web browser. You can access the site from any ...

Deep in the redesign of their online bookmarking service, del.icio.us has found time to build a Facebook application. The new application allows Facebook users to log into their del.icio.us accounts from the social network and display their bookmarks. With the bookmark integration users can choose to either show del.icio.us activity in their Facebook news feed, and/or show a del.icio.us summary ...

Here's a neat little trick we picked up from Lifehacker. Since you can adjust a number of settings in Firefox by typing commands into the URL field, it turns out you can also adjust settings by saving those commands as bookmarks. Say you want to create a bookmark or a bookmarklet for your toolbar that will let you resize your browser window. Just right click on your toolbar and select "New ...

We certainly haven't heard a lot from the del.icio.us labs recently. As other social bookmarking sites announce exciting new features and designs, the one that started it all seemed to be lagging a tad. That's all about to change soon, apparently. The del.icio.us team has been working their backsides off on building a new platform for the bookmarking site. Not only have they been doing that but ...

Could Mister Wong hold the fortune cookie you've been waiting for in social bookmarking? European users think so. Mister Wong is a social bookmarking site from Germany that's up against the strong del.icio.us, Furl, Sphere and Ma.gnolia. They have a lot of traffic hitting their European specific sites, but what could their recently launched English specific site offer that differentiates them from ...

We're big fans of Backpack, the online PIM organizer with a pioneering KISS philosophy from the wildly successful 37signals. At times, however, Backpack can appear too simple, making it seem like the only way to interact with the service is through its pleasantly minimal web interface. Fortunately, this is entirely not so, and we just stumbled across two handy Firefox add-ons that bring quick ...

Our favorite online bookmarking tool, del.icio.us, has just announced the release of a hot new Firefox add-on. Ok, so it's not too hot, apparently del.icio.us quietly released this one to the public a little while ago but just decided now to update it and let everyone know about it now. The del.icio.us Firefox add-on allows users to create, manage, and search all bookmarks right in the browser ...

Do you have something to share? Maybe a little tip about something? A trick of some sort? Tipstrs wants you to leave it on their website and share it with the world. Tipstrs is pegged as a hybrid social bookmarking site. The whole idea behind the site lays on special tips and advice about specific topics that people can offer other visitors to the site. People simply post their tips complete with ...

Creating a new secure password for websites you visit everyday and having to remember them is such a pain, but it doesn't have to be. Do you use the same password for every website you visit? Thats not a very secure thing to do, a unique password for each site you visit is the most reliable way to keep yourself safe. SuperGenPass is a browser bookmarklet that will use your master password to ...

The team at del.icio.us made a quiet announcement last week--so quiet that Download Squad didn't even hear it. It seems that the beginning of February saw the 1.5 millionth user register on the social bookmarking site. Apparently since the Yahoo! buyout the team is bursting at the seams trying to integrate with Yahoo!'s user base. The del.icio.us team hasn't made a post on their official blog ...

Social bookmarking has taken off in a huge way, and nowadays we have more options than you can shake a mouse at. My personal favorite is del.icio.us, not simply because it was the first (or one of?), but more because of all the tools that hook in and provide access to my bookmarks. Delibar is a great Mac OS X utility that provides access from the menubar, and we also found Deliwin that provides ...

Del.icio.us really hasn't seen a lot of news lately, but this little widget makes it worth the wait for new releases I guess. The del.icio.us tagometer badge is a way for website publishers and bloggers to easily add a "bookmark to del.icio.us" link, as well as displaying how many other del.icio.us users have actually bookmarked that particular page. Not only that, but the widget will also display ...

Pocket is an online application that allows users to store, organize, retrieve, and share bookmarks. It's a fresh idea on social bookmarking, and a little more complicated than services like del.icio.us. Upon registering at ThinkPocket.com, users can visit and check out sites. When a site is reached that you want to keep track of, you click on a browser bookmarklet, which launches an overlay ...
