Check out the IO option

Suppose you stumble across a cool website and you want to create a Z:wordz Link to share it with someone else. To do that, you'd have to copy the URL, go to the Z:wordz site, and navigate to the Create Link form, and paste the link. 

We realized that it may not be convenient to do this.

With the new IO option, you can now do both of these things straight in your URL bar.

Here's how to do it:

To Create a New Link:

1. Suppose you're at a website, and you want to create an easy-to-remember link to get to it in the future:

2. Simply type 'zwordz.io/' (or 'zwz.io') in front of the URL, like this:

...then press Return.

3. You should then see a form like this:

(The prefix 'http://' is automatically added in front of the URL you chose. You may change this if you wish.)

4. Now enter the easy-to-remember keywords in the empty field.

5. Click on the 'Create my Z:wordz Link' button to create your new link. Voilà - you've created a link that you can use to retrieve this page in the future.

Now, let's see how you can use your newly-created Z:wordz keywords!

To Search Z:wordz:

1. To search with your Z:wordz keywords, simply type 'zwordz.io/*' (or  'zwz.io/*') in the URL bar in your browser.  That's a slash, followed by an asterisk, like so:

2. Now type your Z:wordz keywords directly after the asterisk:

3. Press Return and you'll be taken to the results page:

You'll see your URL link to be sure that's where you'll be taken to.  Click the green button, and off you go!

Now you can access your favorite pages wherever you go, no matter what browser you use, when you don't have the bookmark loaded.

Easy!

Progress

So, the patent for Z:wordz has finally been published! The longer the silence lasts, the better. We're also working on a way to make Z:wordz accessible through the browser search bar as well. Stay tuned for that.
