Throwaway Bookmarks

ListMixer is an easy way to track web pages that momentarily hold your interest. It's handy for tracking blog comments or for pooling timely web pages among friends. No account is required. Really. Here's how it works:

1. Install our bookmarklet^[?]. It has your unique ID built-in, so no need for creating an account. You'll find instructions at the bottom of this page.

2. Click our bookmarklet to visit your account. We create your account the first time you click.

3. Whenever you are visiting a web page you want to track, click our bookmarklet. Your ListMixer account will open.

4. Tag this new entry, add it to your Mix, and then continue browsing.

5. Track pages by visiting your account. You can also use RSS or a linkroll. Click our bookmarklet to visit your account any time.

6. If you neglect a page in your Mix for 30 days, we throw it out. Click on its link and we reset its doomsday timer.

Finding Keepers

Think of ListMixer as a waiting room for bookmarks before they enter your permanent collection. If you decide a page in your Mix is worth keeping for good, we make it easy to add it to your favorite social bookmarking service — just hover your pointer over a link in your Mix, as shown here.

Link editing and deleting options are visible only to you, the account owner. To make this work, visit your account using your bookmarklet — that's when we set our cookie in your browser.

Social Mixer

Your Mix is publicly visible, so you can share it with everybody [example]. Put your Mix on your blog using a linkroll. Use our RSS to plug your Mix into, well, anything. Share your unique ListMixer bookmarklet with friends so they can add to your Mix, too. If the party gets too big, just create a new account and start a new party. You can create as many ListMixer accounts as you want.

Our Bookmarklet: Your Key

To create and use your ListMixer account, all you need to do is add this bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks. Each browser handles bookmarks a little differently. Here are some simple instructions for some popular browsers:

Explorer and Firefox users: right-click (Mac users: Control-click) this star: , and then select Add to Favorites... (IE) or Bookmark This Link... (Firefox). File this bookmarklet where you can easily find it.

Firefox and Safari users: drag-and-drop this star:  up to your Bookmark Bar which lives under your browser's address bar. Safari users can open/close the Bookmark Bar using Command-B.

Remember, this is a unique bookmarklet. Every time this front page reloads, a bookmarklet with a new ID is created. So if you want to share your bookmarklet with friends, you'll need to use the Recruit link on your Mix page. And if you ever want a new account, just reload this front page and grab a fresh bookmarklet.
