Can anyone tell me the purpose of bookmarks in 2022? I have only one hypothesis that it is for users who hate keyboard. Any frequently visited site pops up after Alt-D and first 2-3 letters of it's title or URL. Any infrequently visited site is easier to find with search engine after your bookmarks number is above 100.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoA problem with amateur user generated content (which is what I mainly like) is that the uploaders are really shit at describing their post. Sure, describing a picture of a shady copse of trees as 'my favorite place to relax' will look good in an algo feed, but how am I supposed to find that later? Okay I will 'save' the post on reddit but it is saved exactly as it is to a chronological list. Same goes with your twitter likes or whatever. Bookmarking services let you write your own title/blurb/tag so now it is /actually/ findable.
- SergeAx 4y agoAh, I see. This particular case I am handling by filing a geoposition in one of my Google Maps lists with a comment or maybe a link to the source. This way I also have a chance to visit it while nearby. This adds a small dependency on Google, but so does any bookmarking service, unless it is self-hosted. I will give this another think though, thank you!
