Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the contents of participants' bookmarks bars in web browsers, exploring what these bookmarks reveal about their interests and online habits. The scope includes personal organization, preferences in web content, and the use of bookmarks versus other methods of accessing frequently visited sites.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants list various bookmarks, including links to academic articles, forums, and personal interests such as quantum dots and Josephson junctions.
  • Others express that they have few bookmarks, as they remember most URLs, indicating a preference for direct access over bookmarking.
  • There are mentions of using folders to organize bookmarks by categories like linguistics, physical sciences, and media.
  • Some participants clarify that the original post (OP) may have been misunderstood, with some thinking it referred to recent browsing history rather than bookmarks.
  • Several participants note the differences in how bookmarks are managed across different browsers, particularly Firefox.
  • Some express confusion about the terminology used, such as the reference to the OP and the distinction between bookmarks and browsing history.
  • One participant humorously notes having no bookmarks at all, while others mention using alternative methods like the 'Favorites' list.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants exhibit a mix of agreement and disagreement regarding the interpretation of the OP's question. While some focus on the content of bookmarks, others believe the discussion pertains to browsing history. There is no consensus on the best way to manage bookmarks or the significance of their contents.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention the limitations of their bookmarks due to overflow or the need for scrolling, which raises questions about the effectiveness of their organization methods.

Who May Find This Useful

I think the op is referring to a feature in firefox, and a few other browsers (not sure if IE has it). It allows you to put bookmarks on a toolbar like so:

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.[/QUOTE

I have been there and done that, "in more than one way", it hurts like hell,
so keep away :biggrin:

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:
