Google Bookmarks and Chrome bookmark synchronization

Published
•View as Markdown

I take a try on Google Bookmarks today, and get a very bad user experience.

What I thought is I can use it to store all my bookmarks online and start to use Safari as my primary browser. You know, the biggest shortage of Safari is it doesn’t support extensions and plugins. And it’s been said that Apple would announce Safari 5.0 which support extensions. If it’s a true news, then I can finally find a extension for Safari to synchronize online bookmarks. That really inspires me.

Before that, I have to use Google Chrome and it’s bookmark synchronization. I am not sure if you have noticed. There are two sets of Google’s products related to online bookmarks, Google Bookmarks and Google Chrome bookmark synchronization. So I just think Google might be going to give up Google Bookmarks. These two products face same target market.

In my experience, Google Bookmarks is more like a copy-cat of del.icio.us. And Google Chrome bookmark synchronization is just a simple online bookmarks store service. The prior one is more like a social network tools. When I surfing Internet, I can bookmark interesting pages and websites in Google Bookmarks, then share them to my friends. The latter one is more personal and privately. At least, I didn’t find share bookmarks option in Google Docs.

However, I still think they are duplicate.

So, What should I use? I don't know. What I really want is a Safari plugin for del.icio.us, then I can give up Chrome and turn to Safari. Bookmarks online synchronization is very important for me. I often restore my system and if I have to initial browser's bookmarks every time, I will be mad.

写在新财年前

我不停的有重新开始博客写作的冲动。一直没有付诸行动的原因很多,总结一下,不外乎以下几点: 在当下的简中环境下,因为与中国内地仍有无数联系,我无法做到真正无所顾忌的在线袒露自己的真正观点。 在个人博客和推特之间无法取舍。个人博客确实较重,无法做到推特那样方便。而且据说推特在不久之后也会支持长推特,那就和个人博客更加没有区别了。但是推特上环境过于吵闹,让人无法静下心来输出观点。 懒。或许这才是最

Hashnode 做博客的一点感受

正在迁移自己的博客,从 Wordpress 到 Hashnode 。发现一些不满意,写在下面: 对标题要求太长。很多中文标题往往两三个字,三四个字即可。但是Hashnode要求至少六七个字符的长度,我经常还得给标题里添加语气废话来扩充长度,满足发布要求; 标题内不支持中英文混合中,英文字母全大写。会自动将标题内的英文字符变为首字母大写,非常讨厌!!! 文章URL是自动从文章标题中取词,但是如果有些文章是系列的,标题相同,只有标题末尾的序号不同,那么这些文章的URL居然是一样的!!!简直是笑话!...
