This is an awesome utility that stores your favorites/bookmarks on a server and is constantly syncing what's on the server to what's in your browser. But more importantly you have access to all of your bookmarks wherever you are, you just have to log in. And when you get a new computer or try out a new browser you can download them into your new browser. And you can create bookmark profiles to keep personal computer bookmarks separate from Tablet PC bookmarks, etc. Not so much Web 2.0 but it's a Godsend! And your students can snyc their existing bookmarks onto their new netbooks!
