This is a great discussion about how to make a bookmarklet. I would like to see someone address the topic "How To Get Someone To Actually Use Your Web Application's Bookmarklet"

What bookmarklets do you all actually use? The only one I use regularly is delicious. Despite how simple it is, they don't seem to have much adoption.


I use the Hacker News and InstaPaper bookmarklets daily.


I hear you -- bookmarklets just aren't that well advertised, even though they can be pretty powerful.

I use delicious, google translate, instacalc (I'm biased for that one :) ), and post-to-tumblr occasionally.
