Do people use Bookmarklets?

2 pointsby nathantrossover 13 years ago

A very simple question with a lot of answers I'm sure. But what I'm wondering do people in general use Bookmarklets, or continue using them?<p>Here are a few examples:<p>http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/20-useful-bookmarklets.html

I was wondering the same thing recently, so I made a little Javascript library that can detect bookmarklet usage, which could then be hooked up to something like Google Analytics: <a href="http://github.com/quadule/trackmarks" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/quadule/trackmarks</a><p>I don't have a high-traffic site to test it on, but if anyone else does I'd love to hear about it.

I use them for faster searches -- like going from the current page to a traffic estimate of that page on compete.com, or domaintools information for the site. Really speeds things up.

I just "published" one, I use bookmarklets: google bookmark, google calendar, hacker news, google reader, and now "taskme"

I use the Hootsuite and Buffer bookmarklets.
