Which Bookmarking Tool To Use

I'm between bookmarking tools at the moment. I've been happy with StumbleUpon for a while, but I've just given up on their new UI. It requires you to remember too much mystery meat to get anything done. I had used Delicious before that. I can't really remember why I stopped using it. I think I liked the old StumbleUpon more. I'm considering using Google's +1 facility, but again that seems a little obscure.

Here are my requirements:

• Save bookmarks
• Work quickly from Chrome or Firefox
• Work okay from the Android browser on a phone
• Support tags
• Able to be viewed as a web page rather than tied to a browser (rules out Firefox Sync)
• Easy way to get my data out again

Suggestions?

foursquare

I've been playing with foursquare recently. It is quite good fun, but I have no friends. If you are on foursquare and you know me, you can add me as a friend.

Turning Off Google Ads

I'm going to take my Google Ads off this blog site. It has been an interesting experience. In three years I've had 3,000 page impressions resulting in 34 click throughs and earning me £6 pounds. When it comes down to it this is not going to pay the mortgage and I'd rather have the higher esteem of any readers by not having adverts on the site.

Testing Phone Blogging

I've just set up the post-by-email feature on Blogger, so this is my first attempt at a post. I'm trying to free myself of tie-in to Twitter, Buzz etc.

Giving up on Google Wave

I've been playing with Google Wave for just over a week now and I think I've seen enough. I just can't find anything practical for it to do. I feels very much like a technology searching for a problem to solve. It reminds me very much of Joel Spolsky's post on Architect Astronauts.

Robert Scoble, who I don't actually follow, has a nice post pointing out that Wiki's would be a better solution to many Google Wave's supposed use cases.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong. I'll try to keep an open mind.
