Easy bookmarking with your mobile device

I find myself surfen the web more and more using my iPad or my Android phone. And often I run into an interesting webpage that I want to save in my linkaGoGo account to reference it later, or to finish reading it when I have more time.

I could copy the webpage link and manually add it to linkagogo, but that is quite elaborate as you need to copy the link, then go the linkagogo Add page and paste the link and type in the title. To make this easier linkaGoGo allows you to email the web page information right into your linkaGoGo inbox folder.

Now how does this work? Well both IOS as well as Android allow you to email the webpage you have in the browser. They will automatically put the title of the web page in the subject of the email and the web address (link) as the first line of the email content. Now if you send this email to addto@linkagogo.com the webpage will automatically appear in your linkaGoGo bookmark collection. It adds the link in your linkaGoGo Inbox folder. If you don't already have an Inbox folder, it will automatically be created for you. To make sure it ends up in your linkaGoGo bookmark collection, you need to email it from the email address that you used to setup your linkaGoGo account with. If you don't remember what is in, you can look it up in your linkaGoGo account page. To get to the account page click on your username on your linkaGoGo home page.

Now besides the title and the link you can also add a description of  the link below the link in the email. You can mark keywords (tags) in the description with the # character. An example email would be like this:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Subject: linkaGoGo Home
___________________________________________________________
http://www.linkagogo.com/

The most #awesome #bookmark manager on the #internet.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When this email is send to addto@linkagogo.com. it will create a bookmark in your linkaGoGo Inbox folder with a title "linkaGoGo Home". The url will be taken from the first line of the email (http://www.linkagogo.com/) and the description from the remaining email contents. All the # prefixed words will be added as keywords.In this case: awesome, bookmark, manager and internet. Note if you omit the description, the title will also be used for the description.

You may ask where do I find this browser email function. I'll cover this for both IOS (Iphone, Ipod touch and Ipad) as well as Android. I don't own a Windows 8 phone or a Blackberry. If anyone know how to do this on these devices feel free to add the steps in the comment section.

On IOS use the 'Mail Link to this Page' option from the  Action button at the top left of the screen on the IPad and and at the bottom on the Iphone and Ipod Touch. Once selected the following screen will appear.

The title and link are already filled out and you can add the description with keywords below the link.

With Android you need to click the Options button which will bring up the Options menu. Select the More option and from the list choose "Share Page". From the next list choose the email application you want use and now you see your email application with the subject prefilled with the title and email contains the link to the page.

Once you send the email with the link you will get a confirmation email back once it is added to your account (typically within 5 minutes). If it failed, the response email will describe what the problem is. Oh and since linkaGoGo is funded by subscriptions the feature is available for Plus (4.95 a year) and Premium members (24.95 a year).

Happy bookmarking....
