Roaming profiles on the internet
November 15, 2005 1:11 PM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

What are good, free sites on the internet where I can create a personal profile that allows me to log in and see my internet favorites, possibly store files, that are accessible from anywhere on the net?

For the first, del.icio.us. For the latter, rapidshare.de.

You could do all this with Google's personalized home (or Yahoo's, or MSN's.) Store files by Gmailing them to yourself.

I use Backpack for this stuff, actually, but it's not optimal.

Furl let's you add favorites. It stores a copy of the page on their server, so you can access it from anywhere, even if the page is no longer available.

Try Blinklist.

In fact, there is a program called GDisk that allows your computer to recognize your GMail account as a virtual drive. (And Gmail Drive Extension for Windows users.)
See Lifehacker for all the juicy details.

I use netvouz to store a copy of my bookmarks online, which I can tag and browse as I wish. Plus it does public/private bookmarks, and categories.

I have tried all of these new Web 2.0 sites that do these things and have yet to find one that beats Yahoo! ... Yahoo gives you a bookmark manager, a notepad, calendar, storage space for files, Fickr, customized news headlines, movie theaters, TV listings, MyWeb (like Del.icio.us), etc. Of course, it's all free. I love My Yahoo!

I'm a big fan of FarFetch for web-based bookmarking. [Full disclosure: I like it so much I married the man who wrote it.] I also have some insider information: a whole bunch of nifty new GTD-friendly features are about to be released.

Foldershare looks promising
