How-to Save/Bookmark Facebook and Web Pages
As I've said, have never met a FB page or a blog I didn't like. The Inbox is overflowing every morning, but, that is how I like it!
I'm retired now but even when working, the first thing I do in the morning is check email--don't we all.
This is a quick skim; most can be deleted or starred for later.
FYI: Most of my Internet reading is done on the iPad in the Safari browser; I don't care for the Facebook app as I can't do what is shown below.
But how do I keep up with it all ????? "They Say" one shouldn't spend more than 15 minutes a day on Social Media. Yeah, well, that isn't going to happen! So, I try to be smart about how I go about it and weed out the garbage while I'm at it.
Also, I find myself reading fewer and fewer books as my reading is many shorter articles/pdfs from The Web.
Facebook
• Select FB post and long click on it; I chose Open in New Tab
2. The post I want to read is now open in a new tab; I'll go back and read later. Meanwhile, I can go back to my Page list (neucarol) and continue skimming.
Save/Bookmark Web Pages
The examples below are from my email but works same if a web page.
• Note: I have two groups that Gmail automatically assigns--Primary & Social. Gmail figures out which is which based on whether it is from FB, or another social media site--probably--and I haven't had an issue. Can also set up more if I want. It's a good way to start the sort/save process.and click on symbol.
• Click on the symbol in the lower right corner to save to Safari. Note there are also multiple options to Follow the blog; always a good thing!
• Next, in the upper right corner, open the symbol which now gives lots of save options. My fave is the Save PDF to iBooks; it's always there in iCloud; can always delete. Also like Bookmark and Add to Reading List.
Hope this helps you save and bookmark on the web. There's nothing more frustrating than knowing you read it--somewhere--and saved it--somewhere--but Where!
What's your favorite way to save and organize web stuff?
