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.

All in all, the PhoneFavs application is a great little addition to your web based bookmarking portfolio.

There are plenty of websites that I shy away from while browsing online with my BlackBerry because they are not particularly suited to the mobile experience. Using the Mobilizer functionality at PhoneFavs.com has made the process of browsing non-mobile websites a little less painful.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Just wanted to let everyone know that PhoneFavs now fully supports all international characters, that is, anything other than the standard roman alphabet. We always had, yet a small database misconfiguration (just recently corrected) was preventing extended characters from being saved and displayed properly.

What this means in plain English is that if you want to bookmark a Japanese page with a title and description in Japanese characters, these will be properly saved and correctly displayed on PhoneFavs. The same goes for any other language, German, Polish, Russian, Thai script and so on…

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 added a new Transit category to the PhoneFavs mobile web directory. The category currently contains about 20+ bus, train, subway transit mobile site for major cities around the world. Please help us build out the list, if you don’t see your city or transit service listed, please feel free to let us know via the suggest a link form and we will promptly add it.

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.

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.

You can find it here at m.cnn.com.

You can add it to your Favs here.

You can read the piece here, or view it mobilized.
