Kontext: Auf einer Website eines Immobilienunternehmens findet sich folgende Wortfolge:
"Immobilien Merkbox - Sidebar"
Ich denke ***Merkbox*** ist so etwas ähnliches wie "Einkaufswagen" (shopping cart) auf einer Homepage, bin mir aber nicht sicher.
Ich denke an "Add to favourites".
Was meint ihr?
Vielen Dank!

Watchlist
Watching / Wish List are the options from ebay / Amazon where you can follow items over a longer period of time to check availability and price or just remember something. For not stepping on toes I'd go with something like "Watchlist Sidebar". "Add to favourites" is basically pre-empted by MS Internet Explorer. Also presumably they watched objects are not all favorites as such.

: If the way you have described this applies, then I would say your Watchlist (sidbar) is a really good suggestion

Software name

Hab einfach per Google.de gesucht. Erinnert mich auch an die Idee von "a suggestion box" wo man anonym auf Papier geschriebene Vorschlaege hineinstecken kann.

: Not necessarily. This website is one heck of a hideous translation, BTW.

: As you said, the compare box allows you to compare specifications given for similar objects. There is nothing to suggest that such comparisons are possible here.

You are right, but vice-versa?
