My PC crashed and I lost my bookmarks - Help me find funny awesomeness please!

Nov 14, 2012 9:41 PM

Yes, I would mind phrasing that as a question!

I love all of my bookmarks and I would love help rediscovering some old awesome and discovering new awesome as well.

What funny/awesome/weird things do you look at when you need a good internet laugh?

Try this one:

If you use Firefox and/or Chrome, add an extension called Xmarks. It will save your bookmarks on their servers and sync them between multiple browsers and locations of your choosing. You can also log on to their site, display your bookmarks, and navigate that way if you're on someone else's system. It also works with IE and Safari, but I've never tried it on those browsers.

@tbgolladay: Both Firefox and Chrome have built-in syncing features if you turn them on and sign up for an account.

Here's a link to a similar question from a year ago. A favorite of mine is emails from an a$$hole.

Having a backup isn't really helpful for re-finding everything, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. I don't like Chrome's version of it as it assumes I only have 1 gmail account, as far as I can tell. I have a number of them that I keep separate on purpose and log in and out of them very often through the day, which I think would mean that I'd have issues with the Chrome backup/sign-in option. Can anyone confirm that?

@unclefrog: Man do I love me some XKCD. Thanks for the reminder!

@omnichad: Xmarks syncs across multiple browsers, that's why I recommend it.

@unclefrog: xkcd is my favorite. I also just started reading Penny Arcade because of the couple of parodies xkcd has done, I'm now addicted.

Here are some more links from a second question by the same user. I also like the Epic Amazon Reviews thread as a good laugh.

fff I made a reply and then somehow closed the comment window :(

What! Nobody has posted Meat Spin yet?

Do you have the YueTubes bookmarked? (youtube.com) If you haven't heard of that site it's pretty great.
Also you need google.com

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
