By the time you check this out, Google will have "Buzz" online. This is Twitter's competition. Google's search engine, "Chrome", has taken some business from from Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Shakespeare we visited frequently in college with classroom analysis and with dramatic renderings onstage. The characters and lines, for me, do not lose their ring or relevance over time.

Portaportal is a web based bookmarking utility that lets you store links to your favorite websites online. Now your bookmarks are no longer limited to any one machine.

Hello Robin, I like almost all your suggestions, but not this one. I found the Quick Start Window a bit clunky. Also, having to add a Name and Web Address for each new site seemed cumbersome. I really like having the Diigo Bookmark on my Toolbar. I might have pursued Porta Portal further if it had imported all my bookmarks from delicious, Diigo, Firefox Bookmarks and IE Bookmarks - with existing folders and categories - but these are comments I should make to them. In any case, keep your suggestions coming!

Hi Theodore, Yes, it does take an extra step. However, when I am at school and I don't have all my favorites in front of me or on my tool bar, it is a quick easy way to find them. Also, the kids can be at their friend's house and want to show them a site and instead of possibly going to dangerous territory they have the exact link in their portaportal. I see your point, too, though. Thanks for commenting. Robin
