Do you frequently use more than one computer? Do you have a desktop and a laptop, or do you use a computer at work in addition to your computer at home? If so, you’ve probably had those frustrating moments of “Where the heck is that one web site? Oh, damn, I bookmarked it on the other computer…” There are a few solutions to this problem, not the least of which is social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us. However, probably the simplest one, in that it requires no modification of your existing bookmarks or any sort of tagging scheme, is FoxMarks.

Assuming you use FireFox (and if you don’t, maybe FoxMarks will inspire you to start), FoxMarks can keep your bookmarks synced across computers just by installing a simple FireFox extension. You create a FoxMarks account, enter that information into the FoxMarks extension on your computer, and you’re on your way. The program can be set up to sync every time you close the browser, so that if you are at work and add a bookmark, it will by synced up to the FoxMarks server when you close FireFox before heading home.

As an added bonus, you can log into the FoxMarks web site from anywhere, with any browser, and have your bookmarks made available to you in a side frame without installing anything. I’ve already used this feature many times when I’m on a friend’s computer and need to find a site I bookmarked. Just be aware that by doing this, your bookmarks are residing on a server somewhere. Although they are protected with your password, just be aware of that if you consider your bookmarks a privacy risk (although I don’t know why that would be).

If you’re looking for a simple way to have access to your bookmarks from anywhere, check out FoxMarks!
