The Google Bookmark Bookmarklet

It seems Google is making another step into the bookmarking userspace; if you go to the Search History page (you’ll need a Google account — you have one of those, though… right?), you can find a Bookmarklet that you can drag to the browser’s link bar, and use it just like you’d use the similar bookmarklets from del.icio.us or ma.gnolia.

Far from being a sinister plan to crush the little guys, this does seem, to me, to fit in with Google mission statement: organizing the world’s information and making it easily accessible.[1] What could be easier than a way to quickly find your favorite pages?

Hat tip to Google Blogoscoped for this item.

[1] That I can recite a close paraphrase of Google mission statement without having to look it up is a testament either to Google’s marketing, or my need to find another hobby. Maybe both.
