During the days before the Google bookmarks toolbar, options were limited for those who were looking for ways to organize bookmarks and manage bookmarks. While it was fast and easy to manage bookmarks via your own personal computer or laptop, the old Microsoft bookmarks were only useful when you were working from the specific computer on which they were saved. Thus, in the event that you found yourself working on a computer that you did not own, such as at the library, work, school, or university, your only choice was to work from memory. Since this limitation was just part of life at the time, it could not really be regarded as an inconvenience. Today, with the wide availability of free online bookmark managers, such as my Google bookmarks, if one were unable to manage bookmarks from any computer, it would truly be an inconvenience.

In order to manage bookmarks today, it is as simple and easy as sitting down and signing onto any computer with internet access. Thus, it does not matter who owns the computer or where the computer is located, all one needs to do is sign into his or her Google account, and he or she can access and manage bookmarks via the Google favorites toolbar. Now one can work on their home computers or laptops and bookmark page after page, while knowing that he or she will be able to access his or her bookmarks from any computer on which they find themselves working. Obviously, the ability to access and manage bookmarks from any computer provides nearly revolutionary convenience and efficiency to heavy computer users, and particularly for professionals, researcher, teachers, and students. Business executives should be especially enthusiastic about online bookmarks, for more efficient employees means more work is accomplished in less time, which generally means happy customers and more money in their pockets.
