Rats! I just got caught (again) following a “bookmark collecting” link that was really about bookmarking interesting places on the internet. That link was in the middle of some other links that I had been following to visit the personal sites of physical bookmark collectors.
It’s unfortunate that the Netscape Navigator browser started using the term bookmark back in the mid 1990’s. Internet Explorer uses the term favorite places, and the first web browser, Mosaic, used the term hotlink. But, Navigator was the big web browser during those early, precedent setting days, and the terminology stuck around.
