In some business environments people end up using the same bookmarks (resources for work, search tools, favorite vendors, etc) but have to maintain their own bookmarks manually.  This is fine but it’s really a waste of time and energy if you have to send an email around letting people know who a new vendor is and to make sure to remember to update their bookmarks accordingly.  Here’s a great workaround that let’s this happen automatically.

If you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer this walkthrough is useful too.  Firefox doesn’t have a way to share bookmarks automatically, however you can use this trick plus PlainOldFavorites (that we talked about here) to get your bookmarks sync’d in Firefox as well.

Do you switch back and forth between Internet Explorer and Firefox and miss the bookmarks of the one when you’re in the other?  Then check out the Firefox extension PlainOldFavorites for a quick fix to this and get your bookmarks in sync.

What PlainOldBookmarks does is creates an extra option in your menu bar called “Favorites” right next to your “Bookmarks” in Firefox.  This is a list of all the favorites in Internet Explorer that you can now access, sort, add to and delete from right through Firefox.
