    Shared Bookmarks I can't remember how many times I've bookmarked something at the office, only to forget about it when I get home. Or can't remember the URL wen all I have is my phone. Why not create a simple service that takes a caption and the url, then passes it to a service, which then broadcasts it to all devices that are running the app. The "Shared Bookmarks" can appear in your browser, phone, tablet, etc. Been done already? Comments? Thoughts?

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is

    Chrome already does it, if you are logged in to Google+ I use it to transfer links between my tablet and PC - it works with your bookmarks and history.

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      Yeah, as I was reading his post, I was thinking to myself, "Chrome has done this for years..." :doh:

        He probably has an iphone though. I have a droid phone and like Google docs, google chrome etc. for that reason. Once you use Google docs / drive which is very seamless to every device I use (work desktop, home laptop, phone, (new) kindle fire (sideloaded), old nexus 7 pad) then you are pwned by Google. But it is soooooo easy. :laugh: Yes, I am pwned.

          If you log into Windows (8 and above) with a Microsoft account, your IE bookmarks, along with tons of other settings from other apps, follow you everywhere. Without you even asking I might add. Whether that's actually a good thing or not is left as an exercise to the reader.

            So? Chrome (and synched bookmarks) & the Google Docs apps work just fine on iOS & OS X. Have for years... :doh:

              Oh, wow. That is very open of Apple. Didn't think they did that kind of thing on their proprietary system. Very interesting and nice.

                Err... OK. Apple is nowhere near as proprietary / closed as you must imagine.

                    In Google Chrome it is since years available, if you use a google account. I heard that Firefox is doing the same. In earlier time there was an addon. XMarks or so.

                      I've stopped using CP's bookmark feature.  Instead, I email myself the link and store those messages in a folder called [Code]. /ravi
