Another leak

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I’ve never really given much attention to social bookmarking websites, but now that i’m not using my laptop as a laptop anymore (due to some aging problems), i’m really feeling the need to access my bookmarks anywhere, so i had to give these services a try.
