Interesting: January 2008 Archives
Among the things announced during my vacation was Mozilla Weave - a web based service by Mozilla to store browser meta data in the cloud rather than locally where user's browser runs. I have been waiting for a long time for something like this to happen.
I have been using Delicious to manage my bookmarks online for some time now, but managing folders and synchronizing with local bookmarks has been an issue. More importantly I could not do anything about my browsing history.
Some people do not like this kind of information to be stored online - they prefer it to be local and private. Personally I don't have an issue with that, and I do want this information to be less and less dependent on my PC(s).
Weave has made it easy. I signed up at services.mozilla.com and downloaded Weave (I have been running Firefox 3 Beta since it came out). In a few easy steps Firefox/Weave backed up my history and bookmarks to the Weave server. So from now on no matter where I am I can access my bookmarks, as well as history, within local look-and-feel of Firefox. That works for me!
By the way, happy birthday to me :-)
