diffbot

For all my fellow bloggers, here is a tool that you will love.
If like me you have a lot of blogs you like to follow, and you find that you are spending a lot of time clicking through them only to see that many have not changed from the last time you checked them, then you will will love diffbot .
diffbot is an online bookmark manager that notifies you when one of your pages has new content on them. So instead of wasting time clicking through blogs that have not changed, diffbot will bold the bookmarks of the sites that have changed for you. This way you spend more time reading new content rather then clicking through old content.
Another thing I really like about it is that you can take it with you to another computer. So if you are in the library, school or work and want to find a page that is in your diffbot bookmarks, you just log into your account and there they all are.
If you happen to use FireFox as your browser, then you are really in luck as they have developed a firefox plugin that will integrate diffbot into your firefox bookmarks sidebar. It is very easy to install and it updates automatically.
Besides reading blogs, I also use it to keep up with my sisters photo albums, to see whats new in deviantArt and other galleries, and things like searching for items on Craig’s list or e-bay.
Just thought I would share this really cool tool as I have been using it over a year now and found it saves me a lot of time.
Oh I love this! My firefox decided some months ago that it wasn’t going to save any bookmarks at all! And yes i have uploaded the latest versions but still stuck with the problem. Was even thinking about going to Microsoft (spit spit spit) but this solves all my problems!
I love the blogworld - ask and you shall receive (or is that the universe in general lol).
Glad you could use it! I love it and I like how it is portable. There has been many times when I wanted to check something on another computer but couldn’t remember the link. Now I just log on diffbot at any computer and all my bookmarks are right there.
The plugin is also synchronizes the diffbot bookmarks with the firefox ones and that seems to work well too.
