Yahoo has a nice bookmark system.

If you decide to go with a Windows machine for your main browser, you can even get a toolbar.
I don't think a Mac version exist, though.
(The bookmarks themselves are not Windows dependant, just the toolbar.)

I really like the Yahoo system because I can consult it when I am at someone else's computer. Like the library, or Anna's.

I feel funny about off-site bookmark storage, but as others have pointed out elsewhere, it probably makes the most sense for me. (Probably makes more sense than trying to have 'cron' synchronize eight different bookmarks files on four machines and three operating systems.)

I'm not sure which to consider my "main" browser. Probably Opera under Windows, but I split things pretty evenly between the copy on the NT box and the one on the 95 box. After that would be the Mac, but I'm still figuring out what the ratio of Opera:iCab is going to be there, and whether I'll have any use for Nutscrape. Mix in Lynx, Links, and Opera under Linux (I don't think I've fired up Mozilla/Nutscrape under Linux for a while) ...

I'll have to look at tha Yahoo system. I do want something I can export/download to an easily edited text file (even better if I can then upload the edited version), and it has to conveniently support a hierarchy of bookmarks (i.e. folders). I really like the Opera concept of "active bookmark folder", where things can be put with one keystroke. It comes in handy when I'm saving my state in the middle of a project -- create a bookmarks folder for that project, make it the "active" folder, and go through all the windows hitting control-T.

But the gist is that yeah, it'd be really convient to not have to remember which machine I was sitting at or which program I was using when I bookmarked something.
