SharePoint Programming

I've been doing a bunch of SharePoint programming recently. One of the small apps I'm working on is a utility that allows you to right-click on any page in Internet Explorer and save the link to a SharePoint link library.

I think SharePoint is the ideal location to save bookmarks to. I rarely save a bookmark to my local machine anymore because my list has grown so big and wieldly that I end up googling everything anyway. I also found a need to share links with co-workers as we're working on projects. With this utility I can choose to save, say, links relating to SharePoint development to our SharePoint developer team site.

When I get it in decent enough shape, I'll post it here.

Great idea Steve! Will you let the user select a sharepoint & list to save to or just send it to "My Site" & "My Links?"

Look forward to seeing it!

I'm incorporating an XML configuration file that will allow you to specify a selection of Categories and the accompanying list that you want to associate with that category. For example, I want to save all "SharePoint" category links to the company SharePoint Dev Center list, but all "Personal" category to my private site.

I've released SharePointFav 1.0. Details are at http://steve.wedevelop.net/archives/000243.html.
