/* ********************************************************** Author: Qawelesizwe Mlilo Email: [email protected] Description: A hacker's bookmarks URL: http://qawemlilo.github.com/Bookmarks/ ********************************************************** */ The situation Bookmarks are an awesome browser feature that helps you keep track of all web pages that you you would like to revisit. I have a 9 to 5 job where during the day i'm too busy to read all the interesting web pages that i visit, so i just bookmark them. The problem When i get home, where i have free time to surf the internet, i cannot access all those awesome hacker stories that i bookmarked during the day. Possible solution Googling the web brought up a number of bookmarking services like Netvouz, Ma.gnolia, and Del.icio.us but none of them was quite right for my simple need, "just to carry my bookmarks" wherever i go. After much deliberation I finally decided that if i needed a tailored bookmarking service, i was going to build it myself(troubles of being a self-proclaimed hacker) - here is my solution. THE SOLUTION A hacker's bookmarks is written in 100% JavaScript and stores all bookmarks in a Google Docs Spreadsheet. To retrieve data, the application creates a YQL query that returns data in JSONP format. The most wonderful thing about this app is that it does not require a cent to set up! Site Hosting: Github(free), Data Storage: Google Docs Spreadsheet(free) Data Retrieval: Yahoo! YQL (free)
