Import and shrink – according to your link
A silly title such as this one is created when you try and sum up in a single sentence the two innovations we are proud to present to you today.
If taken out of context you would think that it is enough to carefully monitor your links and wait for them to shrink – whatever that means. Unfortunately, no such luck.
If you choose to activate this option, all of the lengthy link titles within your categories that extend into two or three rows, due to the number of words, will be visually shortened and only take up a single row within a category – the emphasis being on Visual because when you deactivate this option the links are returned to their original state. We feel that your homepage or starting page will be a lot more organized and better laid out.
The second innovation we would like to present is Import and Export for your bookmarks.
Many of you have gotten a few gray hairs waiting for this option and we tried to stall as long as possible, however the pressure was too much for us and we simply had to give in to everyone’s wishes before anyone got hurt. If you’re wondering why we didn’t activate this option earlier I will tell you what I have already said many times before at the risk of sounding boring and repetitive.
Aboogy is your home page and not a storage place for links. A home page should be neat, well laid out, fast and functional. Creating the ideal homepage or starting page is a process and not a rush job where you shake the dirt off your hands, wipe your forehead, sit down and relax. When important links are added one at a time over a period of time, a logical order is created and in the event that you are woken up in the middle of the night you are able to locate a specific link without even looking at the monitor. If you should import all 300 of your bookmarks into Aboogy at once, you will create chaos that can easily be organized by dragging and dropping, however, the fact remains that it will be a lot harder to get used to the order. It seems pointless if it takes you half a minute to locate a link when your favorite website is only a click away!
On the other hand, if you ask me, Export is a more useful option. Now you can save your Aboogy bookmarks as a regular html document and as such they can be used for backups or for transferring to another service which may be better than Aboogy (even though we all know there is no such thing). Bookmarks can be exported all at once, as a separate category or as a group of selected categories.
The import and export options are located within the Aboogy editor. Because this is all relatively new, if you should notice any irregularities please feel free to write your comments here or send us an email.
