Bookmarklets every Blogger Should Have

Posted: November 10, 2005

This is a very interesting post by Steve at Micro Persuasion about bookmarklets. (Full Story).

A bookmarklet is a small java script file that can be saved as a favorite. When they first arrived on the scene, many were a bit afraid of them as they were java script programs being added to a browser and many spyware and firewall software had a big problem allowing some of them to execute.

Overtime, they’ve gained tremendously in popularity and it’s common to see social software use a bookmarklet function to post to another application. For instance, one can have a bookmarklet to post directly to blogger, wordpress, and other blog software.

Delicious and Technocrati have them for saving posts and organized blogging information.

They have allowed a unique bit of functionality in browsers, and anyone who spends a lot of time writing or reading blogs should take a look into using one of these services to help tag and save information.
