Bookmark Collector

Once again it was a quiet week in the on-line (physical) bookmark world. The Summer/August break is taking its toll. However, I will tease you all by mentioning that a couple of major bookmark related projcts are in the works, and I plan to announce more in the next week or so.

In the meantime, here are the bookmark related links that I’ve found, from August 22 through August 28.

Enjoy!
