Connecting bookmarks and “my links”
Categorised under: Intranets
I had lunch today in Zurich with Lukas Karrer from Stimmt (a user experience consultancy doing great work in the German-speaking region of Switzerland). Many great intranet ideas were shared, but a little thing that stuck in my mind:
One Swiss firm is implementing “my links” as part of their intranet. So far, so usual. What is unusual is that they are seamlessly linking it into the bookmarks that users are save in their browsers. At a stroke, they’ve eliminated the confusion between the two, and have delivered a solution that gets the best of both worlds.
They are also thinking of tracking what is being bookmarked, and adjusting navigation and search accordingly. Sounds like an idea worth exploring.
I love these little ideas, particularly when they can have such a big impact.
