So long Favorites...
If you're still using locally stored favourites or bookmarks, you might want to take a look at free offerings such as Yahoo's del.icio.us, a web-based service that allows you to store and tag all of your bookmarks in one place.
Users of Firefox have long been taking advantage of the del.icio.us Bookmarks Firefox add-on, and now the Internet Explorer faithful can get a taste of the action with Yahoo's Internet Explorer add-on.
Released to the public today in beta form, the add-on is compatible with Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8 on both XP and Vista. Similar to the Firefox add-on, it'll provide the ability to tag, sync and search for bookmarks.
Nick Nguyen, senior product manager, del.icio.us, said:
"For the first time our Internet Explorer users will enjoy most of the best features of our Firefox extension. We’re very excited about this release, as we have many users who use Internet Explorer as their primary browser. Since there are some differences between Internet Explorer and Firefox, the two versions are not exactly the same, but you’ll find many of the same great features like the del.icio.us Sidebar and Toolbar."
The del.icio.us Internet Explorer add-on can be downloaded here.
