Webliographer is, to the best
of my knowledge, the first web-based application for managing and
sharing bookmarks. The first usable version was in use in October of
1998. It replaced my home page, which consisted primarily as a set of
categorized links. I was especially proud of the fact that it tracked
the use of URLs, so when you clicked on a link a counter was updated
in the database and links that got more hits were promoted to the
front page of Webliographer's display. Though I used, and still use,
Webliographer primarily for my own purposes an individual, my target
audience for Webliographer was primarily teachers who wanted kids to
use the web in their classrooms.
