Using Twitter as a Bookmarking Tool
Posted on March 12, 2009, by philayres, under Twitter.
In the last few months, I have been spending more and more time with Twitter. And, I have found so many uses for it. Perhaps, one of the greatest is something that I just devised today.
There are so many bookmarking tools out there from your browser bookmarker to Google Bookmarks to del.icio.us or reddit. But, why not use Twitter?
Here’s how…
All you have to do is Twitter a post with some descriptive information about the URL, along with the link that you want to hold onto. Then, when you want to find that url – use Google and the following command in Google, for example:
site:twitter.com/philayres [insert term that describes the link you are looking for]
That’s it. That’s all there is to it. So, what have you done? You have given your followers a great link that they might be interested in. And, you have a link filed in a way that you can access at a later date.
