If you haven’t checked out the new look of GC.com yet, be sure you’re sitting down (wait… who surfs the web standing up?) and go take a look. I’ll wait.
Back?
Pretty cool! Beyond all the cosmetic changes, however is the new Bookmark feature. You can keep up to ten bookmark lists with up to 100 caches in each. You can use these for all sorts of purposes; keeping a to-do list for this weekend’s cache marathon, keeping a favorites list, etc.
You can do a couple cool things with them, however: You can share them, meaning if you create a list of your favorite caches, you can choose (or not) to publish the URL of the bookmark list to let other people see what you like.
Second, you can make one of your bookmark lists an “ignore” list. Caches in this list will not show up in search results, and when you create pocket queries, you can choose to exclude ignored caches. So that annoying 5/5 that you know you’ll never ever do, but always shows up in your searches… Gone!
Once GC.com gets all the bugs out of Bookmarks, I think it would be nice to have a spot here on the WGA site (not in the forums) for WGA members to publish links to their favorites lists for others to view and enjoy.
Check it out!
