YahooAlmost all the major web browsing programs now have a bookmark management feature built right into the software. There are many reasons why people would want to save a copy of their bookmark files. I might log onto as many as 5 different computers in various locations on any given day. I sometimes have hundreds of bookmarks on file for each PC.
It’s a frustrating experience when you stumble onto a good underground web page via page links only to find out later that the page is invisible in the search engines, so I tend to have a ridiculous number of bookmarks on multiple computers.
Saving bookmark files helps me save time relocating obscure web pages from multiple PC’s. This tends to help me keep my sanity.

Saving a bookmark file in Google Chrome – Right now, exporting your bookmarks in Google Chrome (beta) for Windows is a problem. Actually, Chrome doesn’t allow exporting bookmarks to a separate file.
The feature will probably be added soon in later versions of the software. This might save you a little time pokin’ around before you figure out Chrome doesn’t have this feature yet.
It’s so easy, even a …well …a you know what can do it.
