Public Sticky notes
Having a good set of bookmarklets on your browser's toolbar is like having a web-savvy Leatherman handy—you can take them anywhere, use them in many situations, and they just simply work. A bookmarklet is a little different than a plain old bookmark—it's a snippet of JavaScript that can perform all sorts of magic on the web page you're currently viewing. You add bookmarklets to your bookmarks collection to get all sorts of things done as you surf the web. Let's take a look at some of the best bookmarklets available, which can help you search and email, download videos, and work out some of the web's kinks.

Click the bookmarklet to fill out a user-submitted site's username and password fields.

6. Google site search
When you want to search within a particular web site which doesn't offer its own search engine (or the one it does turns up less than useful results), you want to use Google to search within that site. We use the site:lifehacker.com advanced Google operator pretty extensively at Lifehacker HQ for those very reasons. The search giant gets beyond a site's own categorization and keyword logic to find exactly what you're looking for, even on since-removed pages. Having the right search modifiers added with one click makes site maps and tag digging feel like relics of the past (Original post).

1. TinyURL
For all the clones, mutations, and specific-use hacks of this service, TinyURL has become arguably the most recognized link-maker for the web's most awkward and lengthy addresses. Keeping its bookmarklet at hand cuts down on mangled email links, gives you more room to write in Twitter and Flickr cutlines and other tight spaces, and creates links you have a fighting chance of actually remembering. This bookmarklet lands you at a TinyURL page, which offers both a preview-enabled shortlink (more on that here) and all the info you'll need. Keep this one next to Embiggen for total TinyURL control (Original Embiggen post).Highlighted by readmore77
