Fav20 perfect homepage for IE users

It has proven that visual bookmarking and startup homepage can be really useful and save you a lot of time.

Firefox has FastDial, Opera has Speed Dial, but Internet Explorer doesn’t have any plugin for visual bookmarking. The biggest advantages fav20 has to this plugins are:

  • no installation required (not even user registration)
  • can access your favorites anywhere you go (just add sites to your account)

I recommend trying fav20 as your homepage and see if you get used to it.

To set your HomePage in Internet Explorer: TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS-> http://www.fav20.com on the homepage field. (you may need to press ALT in IE7 to show up the TOOLS menu).

Remove nofollow on blogspot blogs

A lot of blogs on blogstop have nofollow attribute and I reject them when they subscribed to dofollow.ro, but it’s time consuming to verify each blog for the nofollow free comments. 

Luckly, Marius Butuc edited his blogspot template and removed his nofollow attribute.

a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'
a expr:href='data:backlink.url' rel='nofollow'

Please check your blog for nofollow attribute before submitting to dofollow.ro

Site-ul saptamanii in Romania Libera

Romania Libera face un review pentru fav20 si il catalogheaza ca site-ul saptamanii.

Site-ul www.fav20.com vrea sa ii ajute pe acestia si ofera un sistem de catalogare a site-urilor favorite – sau care merita sa fie revizitate – bazate pe “thumnails”. 

Este a doua aparitie in Romania Libera, prima fiind precizata intr-un review de la webstock cu titlul Memo-uri electronice.

Memo-uri electronice – aparitie in Romania Libera

Romania Libera a facut un review la ce s-a intamplat la Webstock, scriind si despre fav20.

Memo-uri electronice
Pe langa adresele de web vizitate zilnic exista in lumea online milioane de alte site-uri pe care le accesam intamplator, ne plac, ne inspira, insa uitam cum sa ajungem inapoi la ele. www.fav20.ro este un instrument care permite utilizatorului sa isi faca o baza cu site-urile vizitate pentru a le putea accesa usor si a le avea oriunde, folosind site-ul ca homepage al browserului. Avantajul principal al utilizarii acestui instrument este faptul ca nu mai trebuie sa memoram site-urile cu care lucram. 
Adresele dorite vor fi regasite pe orice calculator, indiferent de browser-ul folosit. Astfel, chiar daca Fav 2.0 nu necesita un cont pentru a-si face treaba (utilizatorului fiindu-i permis sa il testeze mai mult timp fara a-si crea un cont), pentru siguranta si pentru a avea site-urile preferate pe orice calculator, isi poate face unul si sa transfere adresele salvate deja in cont.

Social bookmark widget ?

Promoting through social bookmarking sites is FREE (of money) but can take up some time. I have used some social bookmark widget before on fav20, people voted, I got to 52 saves on del.icio.us, and some talk on stumble, but not too many visitors from those sites.

I added today addtoany widget on the footer so you can easily save and share fav20. Happy saving.
