These are great. I’ve added a line to my ‘email this’ bookmarklets at work, with my home email address. I often stumble across fun stuff at work that shouldn’t be using up work time. I do the same at home- these both help me keep on track and helps to delineate the two worlds.

Thanks for sharing those bookmarklets! I am sure to use them daily. Another one of my favorites is http://www.bookmaplet.com
Just highlight an address and up pops a google map

Thanks for your help Eval, I found in end that it worked (in Firefox and IE) if I added it to the links bar by right-clicking on the link – but not if I dragged it.
This will be very handy!

Hi There Rosie -
Could you write some more details?
what browser are you using (try another one and see if it works there), do you have a pop-up blocker (disable it for this application)…

There could be several reasons for it not to work, try again with the above changes and report back…

Couldn’t get email this to work I dragged it to my shortcut bar, but nothing happens when I click on it. Any ideas?

I like zapreader, kind of takes the ‘reading’ out of speedreading. But im glad i just learned to speed read. I speed read everything now lol. “Rev it up reading” was really helpful http://www.revitupreading.com/

Excellent post.

The two bookmarklets that I use are Evernote CLIP THIS selected text/images to new note, and the Google Bookmarks ADD NEW bookmark.

Both let me use tags with autocomplete using the TAB button, and both let me add extra notes.
