Synchronize Just the Bookmarks You Want to with Sync Profiles

By Christian Howd | July 13, 2008

Teachers end up collecting bookmarks on their internet browser, lots of bookmarks. And it’s quite frustrating when you know you have a site bookmarked, but it’s either at home, or at school, and you just happen to be exactly where the bookmark is not. It can also become an organizational nightmare when you start mixing bookmarks: school, finances, home, fun stuff, kids’ websites.

Here’s where Foxmarks comes in. It will not only allow you to synchronize bookmarks to all your computers, but will now let you synchronize just the bookmarks you want, to the computers you want.

Foxmarks is an extension for the Firefox web browser, so if you are using Internet Explorer, you won’t be able to do this. Using Foxmarks, you can create sync profiles, like one for home, one for school, etc. If you’ve got Firefox and Foxmarks on all your computers, you’ll be able to use your sync profiles to sync home books marks with your home desktop and laptop, for example, and just keep school bookmarks on your school computer and the laptop you use at home for school stuff. You’ll also be able to keep all your personal or kids’ bookmarks off of your school computer. Hit the read link for directions on setting up sync profiles.
