Hi, Is there anyone using ORG for keeping web bookmarks? Basically I'm looking at Delicious-like functionality, where I just put tags to web addresses and I can search the bookmarks either for their name or with tags. I have looked at webjump and w3m but they seem to keep old-fashioned ways for organizing the bookmark file. I just thought that perhaps this could be done with Org. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Ángel de Vicente http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com/

That is the idea I organize my bookmarks. You might be interested in the followings: - http://orgmode.org/manual/Capture.html#Capture - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html In short, I make a bookmark in Firefox via org-protocol. Hope this help. -- Masashi Miyamura http://saira.mimamu.net

For a while, I was keeping an Org file with bookmarks organized del.icio.us-style, eg: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * [[http://url1.com][Title1]] :tag1:tag2:tag3: Notes... * [[http://url2.com][Title2]] :tag1:tag2:tag3: Notes... * ... --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But then I started incorporating the links into the body of my notes (I keep a "notebook" directory with an Org file for each broad subject and Org headings/subheadings for more granular organization). I found the web links much more useful in the context of my notes, so I stopped using the del.icio.us-style format. Regards, Jason

I would like to have at least two of the delicious functionalities: 1) to get automatic category suggestion (or at least to get them completed when pressing TAB or similar), and 2) a nice way to look for all the bookmarks that are in category X I was looking to have it done perhaps with BBDB, instead, but I wouldn't like to get a mess when writing mails. I'm open to suggestions, -- Ángel de Vicente http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com/

Thanks, but I'm specifically looking for a way to organize bookmarks with tags for easy storing/searching, and as far as I can tell, quickurl does not provide anything in that respect?

Hi Angel, maybe you can have a look at GNU recutils: http://www.gnu.org/s/recutils/ I'd be curious to know if recutils has been used to store and manage bookmarks, but I think it's a natural fit. We had some discussion with the author, Jose E. Marchesi, who is an this list -- and recutils/org integration is not impossible either. HTH, -- Bastien

I'm very busy right now, so I didn't look at this, but I will certainly come back to it, and report back. (There was also a Emacs Database, EDB, which I never used, but which perhaps could also be used, but I'm not sure if that is still maintained...)

Great -- let us know about your progress, it can boost any org/recutils
gateway.

Currently I just use urls in org files and open them with c-o. It works
well for links you seldomly use because its easier to find them by
context than by name.
