I took inspiration from a post on Planet Ubiquity (http://tinyurl.com/9tten8) to discuss a very important issue of our browsers: bookmarks.
Surely you all know what they are, you can call them Favorites, but in the end they are always bookmarks.

As Dicarlo asked ,do we still need bookmarks? Or are they an unnecessary thing of the past, when the Web was still “new“?
Well, I think he‘s right: bookmarks are too Web 1.0.

At least as we have known them until today.

It doesn‘t take so much time, it is true, to add a page to bookmarks, but we spend too much time to organize them, and, above all, it takes too long to find a page that “we know that two months ago we had entered.” No, something is wrong, Dicarlo is right.

And then? Are we gonna ban boomarks?
No,we must change them.

Let me explain: I mainly use bookmarks to keep pages of high interest.
Tabs may be small bookmarks, but sooner or later they are closed, and I don‘t like going to search things into the history: when I find something really interesting, then, I add it to bookmarks to have it stored now and in three months as well. I usually bookmark guides and tutorials: one day they may come in handy, maybe even most times, but I can‘t keep 20 open tabs. So,let‘s put them in the box. Simple. We need to change the way we approach to bookmarks. Everyday-sites are not stored in bookmarks, we leave open tabs. Or at least, we have them in the toolbar. Bookmarks should become a sort of shelf where to keep the information we‘ll need in the future. Just like Delicious Library for Mac: a shelf where catalog “books” (pages) of interest, but not of everyday use.

I mean, you don‘t read Hamlet everyday, do you?
But you have it in your library, right?

Well, it‘s the same idea.
