Page Title: A bookmark friendly format
December 6, 2006
Page titles are used as descriptors in (social) bookmarking. Consequently, a well formatted page title can speed up the process of finding a bookmark.
Here is the page title format that I find most effective to my bookmarking:
1. Page Name – Domain Name – Date
2. Page Name – Site Name – Date
I prefer domain name over site name, often because it’s usually shorter.
Date is only used when appropriate (blog, news, …). Ex: Dec 6, 2006
Thank you. I wish more sites followed your advice. Most of the time I forget to check what name the bookmark is being saved as, then it’s searching through ambiguous titles to find the right one (and having to take the time to change it to something useful). Some sites don’t even have titles.
