I know, there’s Delicious for Bookmarks but it never really grew on me. When Mozilla announced the Mozilla Weave service and Firefox plugin, I was very excited about the service that would eventually let me do just that. However at the time of the announcment Weave was in very early development stages and didn’t work for me. Today, I gave it another shot and it’s doing its job just fine. Although it’s still experimental, I think I can recommend it now to the more adventurous of you. But make sure to back up your data first.

Now if I just could get it to sync with my Android phone…

I’m using the same Google account.

I think I found out now. It’s actually easy. You just need to install Linux (Ubuntu in my case) and it works. Thank you Google for giving Linux users cutting edge features first!

And no, Macs are apparently not unix-like enough for this. :-)

Recently I found a solution. This useful little Firefox addon lets you copy whole tables as tab-delimited text which then can be pasted easily to spreadsheets. Happy copying & pasting!

Next up: Another useful Firefox plugin you might not have heard of yet.
