- Google Bookmarks
Google Bookmarks is a free online bookmark storage service, available to Google Account holders.
The service allows one to bookmark favorite websites and add labels or tags, and also notes.
Labels and notes are searchable, and users can access their bookmarks from any computer by signing in on one's Personalized Homepage.
Google toolbar has tools enabling a user to easily create bookmarks and quickly access them. Bookmarks can also be created manually from the web interface, or by use of third-party tools such asFirefox extensions created for the purpose of managing the user's Google Bookmarks account and keeping them synchronized to the browser's bookmarks.A simple javascript function labelled Google Bookmark is created on the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which opens a window to save the bookmark to the Google Bookmarks. This same function can be imported into the Internet Explorer Favorites (IE7) and placed in the Links folder, which can be opened as a toolbar.
Unlike
del.icio.us (owned byYahoo ), which is a social tool to share your bookmarks with the community, this service is only for personal and private use with no option to share bookmarks with others, and no option to see what is popular in others' bookmarks. Nevertheless, many websites will encourage bookmarking to Google Bookmarks through third party buttons on their sites, knowing that Google's search engine keeps tabs and considers these bookmarks significant in the results for public search.
