As I was organizing all the articles I have read in the past month to share them here, Matthias Ott’s latest Own Your Web newsletter arrived in my inbox! This month, the focus is on bookmarks: how to collect them, where to store them, and how to share them. I really need a better way to manage my bookmarks, which is why I am sharing them here.
