Bookie is a free bookmarking website which helps you to keep all your bookmarks on the web so that you can access the bookmarks from anywhere. This free bookmarking website lets you easily add a bookmark. You can go to the website to add a bookmark, or use its Chrome and Firefox extension to bookmark pages directly in Bookie. It also gives you option to directly import bookmarks from your browser.

We love to bookmark but feel kind of helpless when sitting at any computer other than our own and try to remember the exact website for our favorite articles, songs, etc. This free bookmarking software is a great boon. It is very simple to use and even has extensions for Chrome and Firefox, so now you can now directly bookmark the website when you are working on it rather than going every time to the  website to add a new bookmark.

Some other online bookmarking websites we reviewed earlier include MyWebRoom and Saved.io.

How to use Bookie Extension in Chrome

From the account page you will get the link to download the extension of this free bookmarking application Bookie. Once you have downloaded and installed the extension, you will get a symbol Bookie-Icon near the ‘Tools’ Bookie-Tools in the top right corner. Initially if you try to bookmark any webpage it will not work, the reason is you have not connected the bookie with the database. In order to do so, you have to go to ‘Extensions’ under ‘Settings’. Click on ‘Options’ under Bookie. You will be redirected to a page similar to the one given below. You have to mention the Bookie username and the API key which you got from Accounts. There is also option to sync the bookmarks of your browser with that of the bookmarks in Bookie.

Conclusion

Bookie is a wonderful application. This free bookmarking software will now allow us to peacefully keep on adding our bookmarks without any fear of loosing them or urgency of exporting them when the computer needs to be formatted. The option to browse/search through others’ bookmarks lets you know about other sites falling under the tag you searched. I have already exported all my bookmarks to this website and would now recommend it to those who keep a lot of bookmarks.

You can get Bookie here.
