4 Steps to Home/Work Internet Nirvana

July 8th, 2006 by wd5gnr

If you use a bunch of computers (or maybe a computer at home and a computer at work) you know how hard it is to keep everything in sync. But I think I’ve found a pretty workable solution in 4 parts:

  1. Use Firefox
  2. Store your bookmarks at http://del.icio.us (see my bookmarks at http://del.icio.us/wd5gnr).
  3. Install the Delicious Firefox extension (http://del.icio.us/help/firefox/extension)
  4. Install Google Browser Sync (http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/) — this syncs your history, cookies, passwords, etc.)

You might wonder why use del.icio.us if the Google tool will sync bookmarks. First, think of it as a fallback. If I have to use IE somewhere I can still find my bookmarks. Second, del.icio.us lets me find lots of other interesting links by searching other people’s links, using the inbox, or using the network.
