In the last decade the main focus of the spread of new knowledge has become the Internet. Dam burst, scored key information, and now for the breakfast, we learn more than our ancestors learned in the past month. The first step to codify incoming information was the appearance of bookmarks in the browser. However, in recent years the Internet has grown a thousand times, and input information through blogs, social networks and e-mail, I poured a continuous stream. Bookmarks also remain the same as before.

However, alternatives abound bookmarks. Programs, websites, apps for smartphones. The main plus of modern tools that they actually store information, while the Favorites keep only references to it. What do you think, how many links will continue to work, when they host the 5, 10, 15 years?

The first type of bookmarks - useful links to manuals, flight times and other information to which at times have to go. For all of this information fit Evernote. Forget about the links, save the entire article. When you need the right information, you will find it very quickly, thanks to the notebooks system, tags and search. By the way, thanks to the program and applications for smart phones, you can have access to the data even without internet access.

The second type of bookmarks - it all kinds interestingness. Collections of interesting facts gallery with interesting pictures, funny videos, etc. Why not make the whole of this special blog? Tumblr is suitable for this salad is the best. Download a browser extension and instead add a picture with a funny Kitten bookmark it post it to your blog.

There is another kind of bookmarks - links to articles to which we plan to readWhen we will have time. Decision - Instapaper or Read it Later. With the help of these services is worried about what an interesting post will not be read is not necessary. Add there all you want, but on the way to work or before going to bed, read it with your smartphone or tablet.

And the last type of bookmarks - links to the main pages of sites which have to go back several times a day. Gmail, Google, Lifehacker, Twitter, VKontakte. Personally, I do not use bookmarks for these pages - I just type in a few letters of the omnibox address, the browser substitutes the rest. The matter of seconds. However, if this option does not suit you, then I can recommend you Start.io - minimalist home page with good design. Available mobile site, which can be set as homepage of your smartphone browser.

Bookmarks - a bottomless box and fold to everything, hoping then anything there to find - at least unwise. So why build such a primitive tool of some kind of system to store information, if there is so much more appropriate for this service?
