Bookmarks are always a useful tool to do some tasks directly from our browsers. Recently, I came across this useful list of bookmarks. Wanted to share with others.
- Twitter Reactions – To keep track of all recent tweets on Twitter on the web page that I’m currently viewing.
- Capture Screenshot – To capture the screenshot of the current page and upload to online services like Flickr, Blogger, Evernote etc. Allows you to crop out the section that you want from the current snapshot.
- ToRead.cc – A bookmark that will send the current page to your email (to read later, to share etc). You need to provide the email address to register with this free service. After registration drag the provided bookmark to your browser. Clicking on the bookmark will then forward the page to the registered email.
- Short URL – Creates shortened URL for the current site using bit.ly service.
- Readability – Creates a readable layout of the current page. Removes distractions on the web page (such as ads etc).
- Tidy Read – Another readability tool, that changes the cluttered web page to a more readable format. Works by changing the underlying CSS to make the page more suitable to read without disturbances.
- Show RSS Feed – A really useful bookmark. Gets the RSS feed associated with the site (if the browser cannot do it by itself). Also lets you to subscribe to the RSS in your favorite reader.
- Edit This Site – You can edit any site with this bookmark. See the video below to see it in action.
- Print What You Like – Will let you print part of web page or whatever you want on the page. It allows you to mark the print area (various options to select the area), and also allows you to save the snapshot as HTML or PDF.
- GMail This – Creates a mail in GMail with selected test from the page pre-populated.
