Seldom do I have the time for subscribing to sites that deal with gaming. I love athletics but other kinds of gaming do not appeal. However, last August, I was hospitalized for a stroke and the site you have posted I have joined. The coonection here is that they posted for "why did you join?" an option: "recovery". there has been significant feedback already from medical people that the brain is "plastic" and can regenerate its cells. The other piece, which your website touches on, is that I can train my brain to connect better. I am very grateful you posted a healing tool. I will update you about that part of its efficacy.
Portaportal is a web based bookmarking utility that lets you store links to your favorite websites online. Now your bookmarks are no longer limited to any one machine.
Hello Robin, I like almost all your suggestions, but not this one. I found the Quick Start Window a bit clunky. Also, having to add a Name and Web Address for each new site seemed cumbersome.
I really like having the Diigo Bookmark on my Toolbar. I might have pursued Porta Portal further if it had imported all my bookmarks from delicious, Diigo, Firefox Bookmarks and IE Bookmarks - with existing folders and categories - but these are comments I should make to them. In any case, keep your suggestions coming!
Hi Theodore,
Yes, it does take an extra step. However, when I am at school and I don't have all my favorites in front of me or on my tool bar, it is a quick easy way to find them. Also, the kids can be at their friend's house and want to show them a site and instead of possibly going to dangerous territory they have the exact link in their portaportal. I see your point, too, though. Thanks for commenting.
Robin
