 * *Resources links and/or class examples **

-Install Xmarks on each browser you use, and it will seamlessly keep your bookmarks, (and optionally) passwords and open tabs in sync. - You can view, edit, add and delete bookmarks from any browser by going to [|my.xmarks.com] and logging in with your Xmarks username and password. - Xmarks gives you full control over which bookmarks are synced to which computers. This allows you to: Keep your private bookmarks at home, but sync everything else with your work computer. Set up a different bookmark toolbar at home and at work, but sync everything else as you normally would. Create a shortlist of bookmarks for when you access My Xmarks from your mobile phone. - You can share individual folders or your entire set of bookmarks.

- to upgrade to the premium package which allows you to view xmarks on your smart phone it cost $12.00 per year
 * * **** Weaknesses **

- Well, not only does it save your bookmarks in a cloud account online, it allows you to have your bookmarks on any browser you ever use. I have two or three browsers on my laptop at school. Basically because some sites just work better in one browser than another. I know that there is no real reason for that, but // sometimes //, it is true. With Xmarks I can have all my bookmarks on all my browsers, and if I add a bookmark in, say, Firefox, it is automatically added to Chrome and Safari as well. If you use a computer at home and a different computer at school, you can have the same bookmarks wherever you are, just by adding Xmarks. If your computer crashes, or meets an untimely death, your bookmarks are safe. So, when my laptop gets re-imaged, all I do is add the Xmarks plugin again, log in to my Xmarks account, and all my bookmarks magically appear in my browser.

***Threats** None that I can see.

***Ideas for the classroom** - Student can create and share and organize bookmarks easily for classes or projects
