RE: firefox bookmarks

Chipmarks looked interesting until I realized that the bookmarks were
stored on their server, and I could not find an explanation of what else
they may be using them for.  (I know Gmail searches email to tailor the
advertising you see while reading your mail.  I don't have a problem
with that as it is all up front.)

Anyhow this got me thinking and Googling.  I found this Firefox
extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&c
ategory=Bookmarks&numpg=10&id=14  It allows you to save and synchronize
Firefox bookmarks from multiple machines to your own server.  I got it
working via FTP but could not make http or https work.

hello richard,

if you want to take bookmark portability further, you may want to
check out http://www.chipmark.com. it lets you import your bookmarks
into a central server and then, by downloading a firefox plugin, adds
a "chipmarks" entry on your menu where your imported bookmarks can be
found. it's sort of like webmail, you don't always have to synchronize
your bookmarks.html whenever you access the internet.

it's still a new service though so expect some functionalities missing
from your plain old bookmarks.html - favicons aren't saved, no live
bookmarks, no sorting/separators.
