| Intro
markdown:
`sharkey` is a cute web-based personal bookmarking service. * **Bookmarking** means it _saves your links_, allows you to _tag them_, arrange in _categories_ and, most important of all, _keep track of what you should visit later_. * **Personal** means _you control your own data_. Everything is stored on your computer and _you can import/export/delete as you please_. It is like the anti-social cousin of [Delicious][delicious]. * **Web-based** means it runs on your browser. _You don't need an internet connection_, though! It doesn't mean you access a site to use it - it runs on _your computer_. It just happens that I prefer to make sites instead of designing windows and buttons and stuff. * **Cute** means it has a nice appearance. It comes with _lots of themes_ and you can even customize it _with your own themes_ too.

markdown:
If you're unsure on how to start using `sharkey`, here's how I do it. I have lots of tabs opened in my browser. Some of them has sites I want to see later, others are just there because... well, I might need them some day. So I start organizing them. I create some tags and categories, placing links more or less like the following:
table.table.table-hover
thead tr th site th category th tags tbody tr td a youtube video I can't see right now td Video > Youtube td watch-later tr td funny images I might link to some friends later td Images > Funny td link-later tr td news site I visit regularly td News td daily tr td page with important download link td Download > Image/Video/Document td download-later, important tr td great online game I recently discovered (and might link to friends later) td Game > Online td game-later, link-later
markdown:
So, in general, _tags are for quick finding things_ and _categories are for organized classifying_. Since `sharkey` has a [Tag Cloud](/tagcloud), it becomes easy to find, say, sites I need to visit daily or important things I must see later. And on the [Categories Page](/categories), they're listed like folders on the computer, just how Firefox or Chrome displays it's bookmarks.
