Backing up bookmarks is a good practice. As time goes on, you acculmate hundreds of bookmarks, maybe thousands. Counting bookmarks isn’t very hard either, it’s actually pretty fun knowing.

I was just searching around and I stumbled upon what seemed to be a ghost. I wrote about Save The Developers back in November of 2008. It seems that their website is back up. It looks significantly different, the super tiny javascript drop down is gone too.
