Despite the fact that online bookmarking services are developing by leaps and bounds, there are still users who prefer to add links to their favorite sites in Favorites in Internet Explorer or the Bookmarks section in Firefox. Based on my experience, I will say that there is some kind of irresistible force of habit in a person that cannot be overcome by any functional del.icio.us , neither Russian-speaking and beauty memori.ru , nothing at all!

Such people are invited to continue to save bookmarks in the old way, but to expand the functionality of this method by online synchronization of the saved in order to have access to bookmarks both at home and at work in the same browser. We offer you an extended cheat sheet for synchronizing bookmarks of your browser, which we have built on the basis of the materials of the Mashable blog!
