What Makes AllMyFaves Different from a Regular Bookmarking Site?

AllMyFaves is a visual homepage and public directory built around logo-based bookmarks and editor-curated "top 10" lists for each category, rather than a private tool for saving your own links. If you want a browsable, image-driven starting page for discovering sites, it fits that job; if you want to store, tag, and sync your own personal links across devices, a regular bookmarking service is the better fit.

The core difference: public curation vs. personal storage

A regular bookmarking site (browser bookmarks, Pocket-style tools) is a container. You put links in, and it keeps them for you. Its value comes from your collection.

AllMyFaves works the opposite way. Its value comes from someone else's collection — a curated set of sites organized by category and presented as logos on a homepage. You don't add to it; you browse it.

Visual, logo-based navigation

The defining feature is that entries are represented by logos rather than plain text links. This changes how you scan the page: instead of reading a list of domain names, you recognize brands and services by their marks. For a homepage you open repeatedly, that recognition is faster than reading — you spot the tile you want instead of parsing text.

The trade-off is that a logo tells you who a site is, not what it does. A text list can carry a short description next to each link; a logo grid usually can't, so it favors sites you already recognize or are willing to click blind.

Editor-curated top 10 lists per category

Beyond the homepage tiles, AllMyFaves organizes the best sites of each category into top-10 lists. This is the part that most separates it from a bookmarking tool:

• A bookmarking site has no opinion. It stores whatever you give it.
• AllMyFaves takes a position. A "top 10" implies ranking and selection — an editor decided these ten are the ones worth your attention in that category.

That editorial layer is useful when you're new to a topic and don't yet know which sites matter. It's less useful when you already have a preferred set of tools, because the list reflects the editors' judgment, not yours.

It's positioned as a homepage, not a library

The site describes itself as a "visual homepage" and an "ultimate homepage" meant to make the internet easier to navigate. That framing matters: a homepage is something you start from, not something you archive into. So the intended workflow is:

1. Open AllMyFaves as your starting page.
2. Scan the logo tiles or a category's top-10 list.
3. Click through to the site you want.

A bookmarking service's workflow is the reverse: you already know the destination, and the tool helps you get back to it later.

What this means for choosing between them

• Choose AllMyFaves if you want a visual, opinionated starting point for discovering sites by category, and you're comfortable with a public, editor-driven directory.
• Choose a regular bookmarking tool if you need to save, tag, search, and sync your own links, keep them private, or build a personal reference library.
• They aren't mutually exclusive. You can use AllMyFaves to find sites and your own bookmarking tool to keep the ones you decide to return to.

One practical caveat

AllMyFaves relies on JavaScript to render. If JavaScript is disabled in your browser, the page won't display properly and you'll see a notice asking you to enable it. So before judging the site, make sure JavaScript is on — otherwise you'll see an error message instead of the logo homepage.
