I use up to three different computers on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. Sometimes I come across a site that I don’t need right away, but I want to save for later, so I bookmark it. The problem is, if I bookmark it on my work computer and then want to look at it from home the bookmark is pretty useless.
Well I just found this plug-in for Firefox called Foxmarks. It syncs your bookmarks to a server so that you always have the same set of bookmarks no matter which computer you are on. The plug-in will merge your computer’s bookmarks with the version you stored online. Another great thing about it is your bookmarks are always sorted in the same order across every computer. This is a great convenience.
But what if I’m visiting a friend and I want to show them a site I bookmarked on my computer? You dont want to be installing software on your friends computer, so just go to my.foxmarks.com and login with your Foxmarks account. You’ll be presented with an AJAX web page of your last synced bookmarks. Pretty sweet.
If you are concerned with privacy, fear not, you can choose to backup your bookmarks to your own server instead of the Foxmarks servers. I see they also have a version for IE in beta, but if you are still using IE you have bigger problems than out of sync bookmarks. Yeah. I went there.
