PhoneFavs user rowanrook let me know of a good way to add your PhoneFavs bookmark list to your iGoogle personal homepage. Rowan found a plugin, called your page here, that lets you add any page as a tab in iGoogle.

To get it setup, create a new tab in your iGoogle, call it PhoneFavs or bookmarks whatever you would like. Then go to the your page here site and add the plugin or click this to add it. Once you have it setup enter the URL of your bookmarks page (http://phonefavs.com/bookmarks/yourusername) and you’re all set.

The PhoneFavs bookmark importer has been improved with support for creating tags out of your bookmark file’s folder hierarchy. Now when you import your bookmarks the current folder of the bookmarks will be automatically assigned as a tag for each bookmark.

The PhoneFavs bookmark importer is the easiest way to get your bookmarks online. Once imported your bookmarks are now accessible on any device via PhoneFavs and can easily be mobilized, searched and tag’d. The importer supports all major desktop browsers including Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Netscape. You can even import from del.icio.us as well.

Full instructions can be found here.

We’ve just added a handy new url shortcut feature to quickly jump to your bookmarks from any device.

Hopefully you already know about our shortcut url pfavs.com Now you can simply add your username to the url and jump quickly to your mobile bookmarks. For example:

http://pfavs.com/username

Where username is your own PhoneFavs username. Of course, if you have some bookmarks set to private, you will need to be logged in to view them.

You can navigate through PhoneFavs links using your Phone’s number keys on select devices that support it.

For instance, you can return to the PhoneFavs homepage from any section of the site by pressing the “0″ key.

The homepage also lets you use keys 1-9 to navigate to each section. Going down the list #1 opens the directory, #2 opens the multisearch form, #3 opens the software store, #4 games and so on…

In your Favs display each number key from #1-9 will open the respective fav in the list, which is why we display nine per page. Currently the Favs number shortcuts open the direct link, but I’d be open to changing this to the mobilized link if users would find it more useful, let us know in the comments.

I spent some time fixing a few bugs and improving the mobilizer service. It’s now easy to access on its own domain at m.phonefavs.com I sorted out a few rss feed issues, and corrected some bugs. There is also a new easy to remember url feature so you can quickly and directly mobilize a site.

Simply type in the m.phonefavs.com/ domain and place the site url or name after the slash. For example:

http://m.phonefavs.com/digg.com
http://m.phonefavs.com/nytimes.com
http://m.phonefavs.com/feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch

Enjoy!

Here’s a useful PhoneFavs feature you may not have known about…

The PhoneFavs mobilizer can also handle most RSS and atom feeds. This can come in handy in a number of ways. For instance you can save RSS feed links as a Fav, and then access them to see the latest headlines from your feed and the links will be automatically mobilized.

Despite the prevalence of the mobile web these days, many sites still do not offer mobile versions of their content. In cases like that you can use a site’s rss feed to create a mobile version of site on PhoneFavs.

A good example would be the popular social news site Reddit. While the site is mostly text based, it also has a lot of ajax and javascript that may choke mobile browsers and prevent the site from working properly. Also all the links on Reddit go to desktop designed sites.

If you plugin Reddit’s rss feed into PhoneFavs you get a clean and mobile phone adapted version of the site. It loads quickly and all the links to articles will go through the PhoneFavs mobilizer! Click here to add Reddit to your Favs, and you can see it in action in the screenshot below:

You could even setup your own specific group of RSS links in your Favs. Just tag your feed’s as ‘rss‘ or ‘feed‘ to keep them in a special section. Just be sure to click on the mobilizer button to access the mobilized feeds.

Palm OS users can download a small 10k PhoneFavs.prc file that works as a launcher shortcut to get to PhoneFavs.

Grab the file here, you can install it over the air or via hotsync.

Once installed it simply resides in your application list. You can assign it to a category, add it to the phone applications shortcut list or even assign it to a hardware button.

Welcome to the first installment of our Tip of the week feature.

Today’s tip is for quickly accessing PhoneFavs. Instead of keying in the full URL on your phone you can access the site via our shortcut URL.

Open your mobile browser of choice and go to: pfavs.com

You will be automatically redirected to phonefavs.com. Be sure to add a bookmark or better yet set PhoneFavs as your start-page (if your devices offers this feature) for quicker future access.
