How to Manage Online Resources
Here's a frequent problem I'm giving another shot at. We all browse the web and every now and then, like every day, find something that's worth keeping. I've long ago quit using browser integrated bookmarks. I just hate it.
I haven't gotten around to try any of the online solutions such as del.ico.us and others. But maybe I should.
A while ago I started to write myself emails with a link to the page I wanted to keep. I'm using Outlook 2007 on Vista so I get excellent index support and finding the emails later is a snap.
In order to introduce a little order in my inbox, I created a sub folder of the inbox named Links. I created a few sub folders of the links folder. For now I just got Dev, Tech and Private. After that I set up rules in outlook to move emails that I have sent to these sub folders. To make this work I add a keyword to the subject of the links I'm sending to myself, "_dev:", "_tech:" and "_pri:". (I'm adding these to the end of the subject to not screw up the sorting)
That gives me a little more structure and I can still search the Links folder and it's sub folders.
How do you organize the information overflow? Do you have any good tips?
