Online Bookmarks and More

If you access the Web from more than one computer, you know what a hassle it can be to be able to make sure your regularly-used site bookmarks are available on all your various computers (including public computers). Sites like del.icio.us help us deal with this problem.

Another "multiple computer" problem arises if we track our task management system (such as Getting Things Done/GTD) on one computer, but come up with items to add to it while at another computer.

An interesting site helps deal with both these issues in one fell swoop. If one sets up a "home page" at www.protopage.com, you can then keep lists of frequently used links on that page. You can also keep "post-it" notes on that page, too. You can access and change these items from any computer you are working on that has Internet access. The post-it notes are useful to enter a task or Next Action that you want to remember, and then when you are at the correct computer, access and put into your task management system. Your home page also can allow access to search engines. By setting your personal protopage as your home page on your browser, you can further facilitate quick access to these saved links and notes.

While none of what protopage does is unique, the combination of items is a useful productivity tool.
