Posted on  by

Inspiration comes in many ways and you like to save everything from the Internet. Collect.io helps you keep your inspiration in the same place from pictures to links, texts and colors. Webbla 1.6.2 – A visual bookmark manager. Patch Reference Webbla. Allows you to organize your Bookmarks visually with Delicious and Pinboard support. Even that we are still not ready with Webbla 1.5 we have decided to release Webbla 1.4.3 a Snow Leopard ready version of our visual bookmark manager for Mac OS X. With Webbla 1.5 we got some delay but we have invested a lot of time in the last weeks to make sharing bookmarks as simple as possible. So, the function that I want to create is to check and see if an action has happened within a certain amount of time, if not, the VBA script will then open up an email window to send an email, but I would like - when this happens - to update a field 'SentEmail' from a 0 to a 1 so I can count it in a query to see how many emails were sent for a.

What governs efficient browsing is the speed of finding bookmarks, specially the most used ones, and the fastest way to do that is the ability to easily spot what we need. In the case of bookmarks, a snapshot of a website would be the solution, and that’s what triggered the creation of visual bookmarking.

Description

Visual bookmarks are not new, at least for installed applications. The concept of visual bookmarking was first introduced in Opera browser, and it’s adequately called 'Speed Dial'. Firefox doesn’t yet have this functionality, but if you are a fan like me, you can easily have it by installing an extension such as Speed Dial. Google, on the other hand, recognized the importance of visual bookmarks and had this feature included with the first release of Chrome. They even made it the first thing to see when you load a 'New Tab'. Visual bookmarks definitely improve the experience of finding the sites you are looking for, and they sure look good.

Today’s roundup is about 6 online services that let you 'speed dial' websites by visually displaying your bookmarks in the form of tiled snapshots. The services are similar in essence, and they almost perform the same way; a quick sign up, start bookmarking, screenshots of your bookmarked sites start appearing, organize them in tabs or tags, access them from anywhere, and if you want to share them, the option is there. The bonus site in this roundup is a service that lets you 'see the sites' bookmarked on Delicious.

Final Note

It is worth mentioning that other visual bookmarking services exist such as FFFFound, imgfave, vi.sualize.us, and We Heart It, but they are mainly specialized in bookmarking images or videos rather than entire web pages. This is an indication of how visual bookmarking is becoming the service of choice for accessing, managing, and sharing what interests us on the web; after all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
