How to Bookmark and Manage Articles

I think we can all agree that there is a lot of information online. News, opinion articles, investigative journalism, fiction, celebrity gossip – it’s all available with a quick search or by following a source that you find interesting. However, the most interesting articles don’t always come your way at the best times. This is why bookmarking and saving tools can be really useful every day!

Put articles and resources from different sources into one place that you can scroll, read, and study at your own pace. Whether you want to save things for your commute home or to check out after the kids have gone to bed, using a bookmark tool makes it easy to stay in the know (on your own time).

Bookmark managers are useful because they take your ability to save information on the internet to the next level.

You can organize your bookmarks however you want, making it easier than ever to save the articles you find impactful or keep sources for an upcoming research project in one place. Or use the extensions to save images, quotes, or specific passages.

Bookmarks and IFTTT

In addition to what each bookmark manager is capable of doing to elevate your online experience, IFTTT takes it to the next level. You can connect different services and devices to your bookmark manager to extend the reach of your bookmarks. This will create an extensive list that includes different sources across the web.

Using RSS feeds, you can automatically keep yourself updated with blogs or resources that you follow closely (without having to refresh their page every day). You can also use automations to save social content such as Tweets or YouTube videos.

Save social posts and songs

IFTTT also hosts a dozen social platforms that you can use to trigger automations. Watch the web for mentions of specific terms or topics, then add those items to your to-do list or a spreadsheet where you can keep track of them.

You can also use these same tools to save a song you loved or a video that was recommended to you.
