| Aug 6, 2012 at 14:11 | comment | added | S.L. Barth is on codidact.com | +1. You can't Favorite answers, but sometimes the answers are what you want to find back - both on computers at work and at home. I'd prefer to be able to do so without having to log in to another site (like delicious). | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:57 | comment | added | user159834 | @AakashM: I see. Once again though, I'm suggesting that a built-in tool would be better than an external one. I can say for sure that I won't bother using browser bookmarks, external sites, or local files. I'd prefer the "about me" hack. To me, the best case, easiest to use scenario involves not switching tabs, pages, or applications. I reserve my browser bookmarks for that which I feel is truly important. Once again, not crucial, but nice to have. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:55 | comment | added | AakashM | Delicious is a bookmarks site. It used to be quite well known. It supports tagging, searching, and has browser integration including a sidebar and context menus. It addresses every single one of your bullet points. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:55 | comment | added | Cat Plus Plus | Keep them on a bookmark bar, and then drag them in and out. If SO implements bookmarks, you'd still have to copy/drag them, so no benefit there. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:53 | comment | added | user159834 | @CatPlusPlus: Specifically on SO, I paste links frequently. This is not what I use my browser's bookmarks for, and I expect that not many people do either. My point is, the easier it is to access the links, the more they will be put to good use. I guess I could keep open a tab in Notepad for this, but the goal is to make things easier. Would this not accomplish that goal? Is my point being taken the wrong way? Really this is a "nice to have" feature, not a big deal. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:51 | comment | added | Cat Plus Plus | What I'm saying is that current favourite system is not that good, not that you should use it for those bookmarks. But browser bookmarks are pretty much designed for this, implementing it on SO is duplicating features. | |

@WesleyMurch I agree with this request whole-heartedly :-) +1

| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:48 | comment | added | user159834 | @CatPlusPlus: I cannot easily sync my bookmarks to my libraries machine, for example. I must stress, the goal here is quick easy access. "Favorites" are limited to questions on that particular network, so I can't use SO to favorite Meta posts, for example, or to external sites. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:47 | comment | added | Cat Plus Plus | Why are browser bookmarks difficult to organise and why do you think SO bookmarks would be easy to organise (favourites currently is just one big list; with browser bookmarks you can do much better). Syncing is available in all browsers nowadays, if you really need that. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:47 | comment | added | Naftali | @WesleyMurch Chocolate chip cookies are very delicious :-) | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:45 | comment | added | user159834 | @AakashM: Sorry, what is delicious? Remember, the goal is is quick-as-possible access to links, and links specifically for use while using SE sites. If it's an external site it kind of defeats the point. The more effort required, the less likely I will use it at all. | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:32 | comment | added | AakashM | Or just use delicious? | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:23 | comment | added | user159834 | Unfortunately "Favorites" are limited to only questions, and only ones on that network, and aren't easy to access quickly. To me it is a completely different purpose, primarily for when I want to be nofified of new activity, but from your link it looks like people are using them for a variety of purposes. Maybe a "notepad" style tool would be better, as it would cater to more uses (copy/paste comments for example). | |
| Aug 6, 2012 at 13:20 | comment | added | Benjol | +1 This has been asked for many times, in various forms. Unfortunately, most of the time it gets batted down with "but you have favourites for that". This question might interest you.. | |
