FURL

If you use computers in two or more locations, for example school and home, it can be handy to have access to your Web favourites from any computer. The Web application FURL can provide this service. A free sign-up (http://www.furl.org/) gives you an account that can be accessed from any Web enabled computer. When you find a web page or site you would like to mark as a bookmark or favourite, you simply log into FURL and save the page. You can also download a toolbar that allows one-click additions. You can add extra value to your selections, because FURL allows you to add subjects and key words . As you build a set of favourites over time, they will be searchable within FURL by the terms you used to enrich the record. You can also import your favourites list from a browser like Internet Explorer
