What's So Good About Google Bookmarks?

The new way to add "bookmarks or favorites" in your browser is to use Google Bookmarks instead. In IE this is done thru the Google Toolbar and in FireFox you need to install an extension. The neat thing is whatever computer you use, these bookmarks will be available if the toolbar or firefox extension is installed on that computer. U just login to google and u can start adding/managing all your bookmarks. They can also be organized thru "Labels"
For IE:

What can't u do w/ Google?

My friend Taylor Benson sent me this one. Here is a cheatsheet to get the most out of your google searches.  Some of the operators I knew about, but others I didn't and I find them very useful.  You can do math equations with google. Man I wish google was around when I was going through geometry and trig.
