Ask HN: How do you book-mark web pages

#1
I use different browsers in different places(Mozilla in office , Chrome in home, Dolphin in Android , safari in ipod touch). Is there any way we can sync all these book marks ? Perhaps there should be an android/iPhone app, and UI through the web.

Personally I use Firefox Sync. It's encrypted end-to-end and if you don't even trust Mozilla with your encrypted data, you can set up your own sync server. Chrome has something similar too however I'm unsure how open it is.

You can sync your bookmarks using Firefox Sync to your Android, if you were to use Firefox for Android (it's pretty good and there are big improvements on the way - I went to a talk about it at FOSDEM).

For your iPod touch, I have no idea, though it raises the question why you need one when you have an Android phone but anyway.

For your home computer, you could switch to Firefox however I imagine there'll be an addon that syncs bookmarks from Firefox Sync. I'd always recommend using the more open service as it's far more likely to be supported.

I use http://Pinboard.in/, which is my favorite online bookmarking solution, hands-down. I use Instapaper to save articles I want to read later, and it auto-saves my favorite articles in it to Pinboard. I also use the Bookmarks bar in Chrome and Safari just to save links I want to come back to one-time, things I won't need to save forever. It works pretty good.
