Download the Safari Extension here (8k). (Right Click, Save Linked File to Downloads…)

Add PhoneFavs to iGoogle

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.

Bookmark Importer Improvements

Ryan Kairer — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:21:49 +0000

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.

Shortcut to your mobile bookmarks

Ryan Kairer — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:42:25 +0000

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.

Navigate By Number

Ryan Kairer — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:49:18 +0000

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.
