myhomepage

This is a short review of a new kid on the block. A bookmarking site and more. It is the myhomepage.com. A name that makes sense and easy to remember isn’t it.

Myhomepage.com is a free site where you can gather all your favourite sites and login in place. Yes, a bookmarking site which you can access from any PC and any browser. Forget about Xmarks plug-ins and such similar sites which offers bookmark synchronization.

Sign-Up

Signing-in is done in seconds. Just key in your email address and choose a password. Agree to the terms and you are done. All site logons are VeriSign certified and you are safe from prying eyes stealing your password.

Features

The below are the 3 main tabs you will see. You can view and cofigure your bookmarks within. Simply search for the site you want to bookmark and add it to myhomepage. Categorise them by creating named folders and you are good to go.

Myhomepage

Myhomepage tab is where you keep all your most accessed sites. This could be your internet emails and other social media sites that you often access.

My Bookmarks

This is where you can keep or bookmark all your sites. You might not access these sites often but you could bookmark and organise them according to folders you create like Music, Video, Technology or even News.

For example, below I have searched for PCMech. A set of results will appear. On the link/result you want choose to Add Bookmark to the Main Folder or create a new folder to add. Consider the folder as categories. I would prefer if they are named Categories or Labels instead of folders.

No worries if you don’t create a folder/category in the beginning, you can always edit later.

Auto Logins

This is nifty feature and I like it. Auto Login allows you to automatically login to sites that require authentication. You might feel skeptical at first as the site will actually store the password for you. I have been assured that together with their patent pending encryption technology, MacAfee and VeriSign technologies our logon information is safe with them.

The trouble some part of this Auto Login is you will need to create a short cut on your browsers bar. Upon clicking on a sites bookmark, you will need to click on the Auto Logon button which will then login for you.

Myhomepage creators have lots of easy to understand videos on Youtube. Below is the demo of myhomepage. View the rest of them here.

Concluding

You have to understand it is beta and the developers are continually improving this site and will be providing new features to enhance our bookmarking choices. Some sites might not auto-logon and other minor issues might pop up.

I find this site to be one of the most useful if not best bookmark site so far. Frankly, I have not really used any other site. I have been using X-marks plug-in to synchronise bookmarks between Firefox/Chrome and Internet Explorer. That is between two of my personal computers only.

With myhomepage.com I can access my bookmarked sites from work or any other PC that is available to me. It will be convenient to access when I am overseas and I suddenly cant remember the site I need to access. Just logon to myhomepage. search your own bookmarks and voila there you have it.

Try it and let me know if it the best online bookmarking website you have used!

Okay, so I have given myhomepage a good try and I must its remarkably useful! ? I input all of my websites and learnt how to use the ‘auto login’ system and found it to be easy and fluid. I think I will shift my delicious account to myhomepage…(I just wish there was a way of importing bookmarks!?) I always have trouble remembering passwords and logging in to all these random sites I rarely or often check. It can really be a headache but now I think I’ve just found a viable solution! Thanks for posting this article and I look forward to seeing the new releases and feature updates from the myhomepage team! S.H

Hi Sandy,
Yup I wish there was some kind of way to import the loads of bookmarks from various browsers and mediums. Hope they are working on it and will releasing such features soon.

Thats a huge amount to acquire a domain name.

So how are they gonna make money out of this myhomepage.com? We might see adverts popping up soon and pay service soon, I suppose.
