Multi computer is what I need - I found it here->
Authored by: valiant66 on Nov 08, '02 06:11:24PM

As a consultant who ends up working in many other people's offices, on many strange machines, I ran into this problem 3 years ago. I wanted to be able to access bookmarks no matter where I was. I discovered Backflip <http://www.backflip.com> and have been using it ever since. Recommended. Now the only bookmarks on my home machines relate to internal items - e.g. the configuration page for my gateway, and pages that I only ever need to be able to access from home - i.e. almost none. Meanwhile I've bookmarked hundreds of sites on Backflip. The structure encourages categorization, too, so I find it easy to find links again, rather than having an endless scrolling list of bookmarks.

I agree with you. I used Backflip in 2000, but then they ran into problems, so I thought they would disappear entirely. I started to use URL manager instead. I like Backflip however, since it is web-based (and still free!).

One problem with Backflip is that you can't use Chimera for one-click bookmarking. But then there are other things that don't work in Chimera either, so that is not Backflips fault.

If you use IE Backflip is great.
