Thought I will introduce a website which I use quite extensively for those who didn't know about this. Do you use multiple computers (say at work and at home)? Have you ever thought, "oops... i have that website bookmarked/added to favourites at my home computer"? I faced this many times and thought it would have been great to have my bookmarks stored online so that I can access it anywhere? Though I came to know later that this was an already solved problem by popular sites like http://del.icio.us and recently by Windows Live favorites (http://favorites.live.com/). But I found RawSugar much better and ingenious that all of this. It adds tagging and hierarchical relationship between tags and hence search within everybody's tags to the bookmarks stored on internet. You could make your bookmarks visible to yourself or to everybody. This is indeed cool.
Here is how RawSugar folks describe their service themselves.
RawSugar is a free service that provides the best navigation and search for directories, blogs and websites. Our service adds hierarchical relationships to tagging and merges everybody's hierarchies to bring human intelligence to finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. What previous tagging services did to share favorite sites and pages, hierarchies with tagging does to topic-driven navigation. There are millions of blogs and websites on the web that cover specific topics and RawSugar can make all their material findable with a better way to explore the web by navigating topics of interest.
Check it out. By the way, the site is http://www.rawsugar.com and yeah, you would need to create an account. They also have browser buttons and FireFox add-ons which makes it easier to add websites to RawSugar. You could import your existing bookmarks from Internet Explorer and Firefox as well.
