What Does Your Bookmarks Bar Reveal About You?

In summary: I'm saying that's stupid. I don't use it :PI have a toolbar for bookmarklets, but not a bookmarks toolbar. Is that what you're referring to?In summary, the conversation discussed various types of content that the participants had bookmarked on their browsers. The content ranged from articles about geniuses and quantum dots to personal email accounts and websites for academic research. Some participants had organized their bookmarks into folders, while others had a large number of bookmarks that they accessed frequently. The OP was referring to a feature in Firefox that allows users to add bookmarks to a toolbar for easy access.

I have very little in my bookmarks. Most of my most frequently visited websites I already know the urls of, so they don't need to be there.

All that on your bookmark BAR?! Sort of defeats the purpose if you still have to scroll through it, doesn't it?

Mine has links to 3 email accounts, .Mac (I should take that off, I don't visit it often enough to need a bookmark for it, and until I get a second computer, it's not doing me much good since my main use was to sync home and office computers), PF, PubMed, and the library eJournals site.

Firefox's bar spans the entire width of the window. Mine all fit with room to spare. :smile:

Wow wolram, you have some interesting stuff.
 
  • #11
I have six folders on bookmarks bar: Irish Stuff, Forums, Connect (mostly mail and school, several networking sites), Scholarly Stuff, Media (including RSS feeds and torrent searches), and Comp (OS and software sites, mostly). All in all, there are well over a thousand bookmarked sites contained in the folders. I honestly use most of them very frequently, though. Fantasy Sports remains my major online activity.
 
  • #12
I have 10~ish folders, and 8 links not in any folder. I'm at uni right now so I can't check...

What the OP was referring to is your recent history of sites visited, not bookmarks.

Ah, he should say so. Some people are listing history, some are listing firefox bookmarks.

My toolbar bookmarks are :

PF, Google, My Dept. Homepage, 2 Email accounts, Mapquest, Wiki and Wolfram.

And, rather than starting a new thread, I'll post this here:

What level of http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv" are you going to? :devil::bugeye:

Level 1 - Limbo

Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

Ooh, I never thought of putting folders on the bookmark bar! It never occurred to me that I could. :redface: I can add on the folder with my next most frequently used bookmarks. :biggrin:
