Bookmarks

Sandy will collect and remember your bookmarks (or favorites, if you prefer) for sites, pages, articles, products — whatever you usually bookmark — and will automatically annotate them with titles, descriptions, and the site's latest news items or stories.

How do I create a bookmark?

To create a bookmark, just ask Sandy to remember any URL (and, optionally, any tags you'd like to add), like so:

remember http://valuesofn.com/blog @nifty

Sandy will take note of the bookmark and reply with a few details she gleaned by visiting the bookmarked page itself.

What details does Sandy pick up from the bookmarked page?

Sandy visits the page you bookmark in search of the title, a description, and (if there's an associated RSS feed the latest couple of stories or news items from the site.

Here's a typical bookmark as Sandy would represent it in email:
