Most users who make use of bookmarklets regularly place them in a location like the bookmark’s toolbar that’s easily accessible. Many like to place them in a single folder to save room and have them all at hand in the same location.

The Google Chrome extension Spellbook adds another management and accessibility option. It basically creates a special folder in the bookmarks that gets added to the right-click context menu of the web browser.

The main advantage? Users who hide the bookmarks toolbar, or have bookmarklets scattered around all over the bookmarks folder can now access all of them a lot easier.

Chrome users who are already making use of bookmarklets need to move them from their current location to the new folder. The Bookmarklets folder gets created by Spellbook on installation. It functions like any other bookmarks folder which means it is possible to drag and drop bookmarklets from web pages and other bookmarks into it. It is furthermore possible to create subfolders in the bookmarklets folder which may be handy for users with lots of bookmarklets.

A right-click on a web page and the selection of Spellbook opens the bookmarklets that are stored in the folder. A left-click executes the selected bookmarklet on the page.

Users who have never used bookmarklets before find a good selection at the Marklets website.

The Spellbook extension is available for direct installation over at Google Chrome Extensions.

I stumbled across loc.alize.us. loc.alize.us is a bookmarklet and website which uses Google Maps for geotagging. It is remarkably simple to use and quite minimalist.

The bookmarklet works through going to one of your photos on Flickr, hitting the bookmarklet, searching for the location using Google Maps, clicking the location and pressing save. Pretty simple, if you ask me! I find this much quicker than Flickr’s service and Google Maps, in my opinion, is much better than Yahoo! Maps.

Their website allows users to explore geotagged photographs, much like the explore option on Flickr’s maps. Once again, the difference is primarily choice. It allows users to use Google Maps, which has much better satellite coverage for example, rather than Yahoo! Maps. Results, naturally, can be refined by user etc.

loc.alize.us allows its maps to be embedded into website. I question the practical uses of this, but it’s still a good idea. I believe Flickr lacks this.

loc.alize.us doesn’t offer anything important that Flickr doesn’t. The key difference is the mapping site it uses; and that’s one big difference!

Once you have made your selection the information will be entered into the Google search page for you and Submit will be clicked for you.

You can find the bookmarklets on the following website:

Update: The original website is no longer available on the Internet. You find an alternative over at the Squarefree website which offers a collection of search related bookmarklets.

Another promising site with a great collection of bookmarklets is Marklets. The site offers a huge collection of bookmarklets for all kinds of purposes.

File search recently has come under scrutiny though as search engines like Google began to remove results from file hosting and sharing sites such as Rapidshare from their index. If you search for Rapidshare files on Google you will end up with a few dozen results tops.

Most users therefor may want to use special websites that index files that are hosted publicly on the Internet instead of bookmarklets.

You can also visit this site that offers a bookmarklet to search the active site. You could use it to search your favorite file hosting site or download site right away without having to go to a search engine’s site first or using the internal search of the service.

Just bookmark the bookmarklets and execute them whenever you need to access them. Executing means clicking on them when you are on the site you want to use them one.
