My sister got called out of town unexpectedly last week. She doesn’t have a laptop, so until she was able to make her way to a computer with free internet access at the library, she was offline. And even when she got to the library, she didn’t have access to any of her bookmarks, so she couldn’t blog, or pay bills, or do anything that she’d normally take care of online. Now, if I was in the same boat, I’m lucky enough to have a laptop to take with me. However, we’ve got a computer upstairs, and more than once I’ve been up there (too lazy to walk down) and trying in vain to remember the correct URL for my online banking. This portable bookmark manager could solve that problem for me. With this tool, you can keep your bookmarks on a portable USB drive and share them between computers. You can install it to your portable drive or your PC, and the trial version (gotta love something for free!) allows you to try it and store up to 100 bookmarks.

I’m not sure if it would solve my sisters issue, because it doesn’t say if the bookmark manager offers you access to those bookmarks via a simple webpage. That’s what you’d need to access it from a free computer at the library, because I’m sure that they don’t let anyone plug in a USB drive there to access things….

For those of us who use two browsers, you can use the bookmark manager with any browser. And something I could use is the organizing and deletion feature. I don’t typically keep my bookmarks organized (again, for the same reason I don’t walk downstairs to another laptop - pure laziness) and I end up with a really long list that would be much more useful if it were divided into folders. Portable Bookmarks will sort out bad links and duplicates and remove them for you so that you’re not taking up valuable real estate with junk. That’s a nice little time saver!
