Google Bookmarks is coming to an end, what are the alternatives?
Looking at the news early in the morning, Google Bookmarks will end its service on September 30 this year, which is a pity. I use this service to store a lot of bookmarks, because it can access bookmarks when you use different browsers. Sometimes you don't have your own bookmarks on the company's computer browser, or some private bookmarks don't want to be stored on the company's browser. service is very useful. The existence of tools depends on the number of users. In the past, we needed to download and install software before using it. Easy-to-use software will save the installation file for backup, and can be installed and used in the future. Online tools are different. Before it ends, download the data in case it disappears. The preservation and abolition of tools seems to be a democratic majority decision, but it is a choice at the expense of the minority . People have fewer choices. In the era of software, it is up to me to decide whether to keep tools or not. In the era of services, companies decide whether to keep tools or not. How many choices can I give up?
Since bookmarks can be synced across browsers, bookmarking services are rarely used. Bookmarks have always been there, and many different services have appeared in response to people's needs, such as bookmark synchronization, delicious bookmark sharing, etc. Because people can't repeat their thoughts, they like icing on the cake. Repeating other people's works is called plagiarism, and extending a work is called innovation. There is a new smash hit service was born. The chrome browser has an extension kit function. Developers can easily develop a small function for users to install and use. If the small function is used by many people, it may be integrated into the browser in the future. If a new browser is to be developed such as edge, it can be copied. All the good features of existing browsers. Although it is very easy to use after integration, it can't defeat the opponent. Google's account can use many killer services, such as Google Maps, Google search engine, chrome browser, Gmail, etc., which are all high walls that Microsoft cannot cross for a while. , This is worth our study, ten thousand swords are one, will be incomparably sharp .
Humans need a lot of blood when digesting, which leads to lack of oxygen in the brain and drowsiness. If half of the blood is used for digestion, the digestion speed will be slow, and half of the blood is used in the brain, so it cannot work efficiently. Therefore, by concentrating all resources on one point, we will be able to handle the work quickly, and services have the same meaning . Only by throwing away the services used by a few people can we have the resources to develop new services . The closure of the service makes people sad, but there is no new life without death. I look forward to more convenient services to use in the future.
Alternatives to Google Bookmarks
Saved.io
It is an online bookmarking service that can be used simply by registering an account.
The main function
- Save bookmarks : Simply add the saved.io/ string in front of the URL to automatically save bookmarks to the Saved.io service. For example: the URL of Matters is https://matters.news/, add the signature string of the book in front to https://saved.io/matters.news/, and then go to this URL to save the bookmark.
- Add to the list : The URL is changed to https://[List name].saved.io/[URL]/, for example: https://news.saved.io/matters.news/, the above URL is to bookmark Matters Save it to the news list. I tried to change the list name to Chinese and got garbled characters. It seems that Chinese support needs to be strengthened.
- Add notes to each bookmark : Notes cannot be in Chinese, there will be garbled characters.
- Sticky bookmarks : The pasted bookmarks will be at the top of the page.
