Ever since Furl was taken over by Diigo, I’ve been using StumbleUpon to bookmark my favorite pages. There are lots of great social bookmarking services out there, and the most popular ones are: Mixx, Reddit, Digg, and Delicious. But have your ever tried bookmarking with Twitter?
Twitter is a micro-blogging service but I recently discovered that it is also good for bookmarking.
Here’s how:
- Drag and drop this button: TwitThis to your browser’s shortcuts toolbar.
- Just click the ‘TwitThis’ button if you wish to tweet/bookmark a page.
- Your Twitter account will pop up and just choose how would you like to tweet the page (Reading:, Check out, Watching:, etc.)
- Mark your tweet as favorite and your done.
- If you wish to retrieve tweeted/bookmarked pages, just go to your ‘favorites’ tab.
Twitter might not be as good as most bookmarking services, but it can do a good job for quick bookmarking. especially if you installed apps like TweetDeck. I’m in fact using Twitter more often these days to bookmark my pages, and I really love it because it’s so easy and simple.

I haven’t tried bookmarking through twitter. Sorry if you weren’t able to understand my latest post. It’s a dneero survey. I haven’t updated it yet. I embedded the box so it can get impressions. ^^
Anyway, yeah, I think the current blog theme (fresh news theme) I’m using is bought.
If you want I can send it to you. just tell me how. hehe.
This is new news for me. I shall try it out, thanks for sharing.
There’s no limit to the number of tweets you can add to your favorites in twitter? I have lots of favorites in twitter, too. My problem is when they get unmanageable – example, they get into the thousands.
I still prefer delicious as a bookmarking tool. You can apply tags to anything you’ve bookmarked, which makes anything you bookmark easy to search.
Hey, you’re using Thesis, too. Yesss! Ahahaha. Now, I’ve got someone to teach me some tricks in Thesis now. But only if you have the time, of course.
Nice new look. Thesis rocks!
@Jan: Hey how are you? Well, I’ve been very busy lately with my blog.
Thanks for your thoughts about bookmarking using twitter. I’m really not a fan of delicious, but I have to find a new bookmarking service cause Furl closed down. I’m currently trying out delicious and diigo (who bought furl. grrr..).
With regards to thesis, sure anytime jan. But I’m still learning thesis myself, I’m hoping I could give you valuable information about it.
Peace!
