Demise of Personal Bookmarks?

Even though I was skeptical, I did checkout it out. I must say that it is one site which has some nice features that other sites don't. For a beginner, you can add multiple links and convert them to one small link, similar to shrinking many links, it being a definite advantage to send that link through email or SMS or any other portable networking device. I do have to give credit to other sites though, with the fact that on clicking on the URL assigned to a link, it automatically redirects you to the encoded site. That seems a good thing even when the link is automatically opened through a mobile phone browser.

Being a person paranoid about security, I realized after much use that most of the links redirect me to a porn site or one with enough number of viruses to keep me off my computer, and even my cell phone!! That's a disaster for me. Anyways, I believe in giving second chances, so I check out this new site's service. It has a simple interface with lots of options, like - encoding your entire bookmarks into one link. It's an easy and simple way to share link pertaining to specific topics to your peers and colleagues. Since there is no redirection even with one link, I had full control of which sites to view or not. The same short URL can be sent through a mobile devices' browser without the risk of infection.

The concept is a must checkout for efficient collaboration amongst peers working towards a common goal, or simply for those who need access to their bookmarks on-the-go efficiently.
