A story about "Windows Vista Beta"

I’m quite impressed. Aero Glass is gorgeous. And there are many (long overdue) improvements over previous versions of Windows.

But it is a beta and therefore you do get freeze/lock-ups and crashes but I use it regularly so it’s good enough for me (especially considering the price).

I’ll be upgrading XP for sure when Vista comes out.

A review of "furl.net"

furl.net

del.icio.us has gotten all the glory but furl was first and in many ways actually better. The downside is it’ so good that it’s more complicated to use which I suppose is why it’s not taken off like del.icio.us.

But web addict that I am, I use it, del.icio.us and Yahoo! MyWeb (bookmarking pages on all thress sites one after the other).

Furl is very good though, it’s just a bit more elaborate than del.icio.us (still my favorite).

A review of "del.icio.us"

del.icio.us

It’s no wonder Yahoo! bought them (now hopefully they’ll merge del.icio.us and MyWeb and give me one less bookmarking site to keep up with… LOL).

There are so many things you can do with this site besides simply bookmarking. I’d go there and read up on it.

I rarely add bookmarks to my browser anymore. In fact I dumped all of them and started over. I just maintain a handful for quick access to regularly visited sites. Everything else is better suited to sites like del.icio.us.

It rocks!
