Somewhere around 2004 Tim O’Reilly gave a talk and asked the attendees if they still use bookmarks or not.
The majority said they use bookmarks, and Tim O’Reilly was a bit surprised because he doesn’t use bookmarks anymore. He checks Google or some other search engine to find the stuff again.
Years after the talk I finally got what he meant.
Google launched it’s bookmarking service quite some time ago. Until recently it didn’t seem very interesting to me since I liked del.icio.us a lot.
I tried to use it several times but always came back to del.icio.us, either because of it’s tagging capabilities or some other feature. Yet the full-text search of Google’s Bookmarks is a killer feature!
Times change, now I made the switch to Google Bookmarks (for good).
