I guess technically if you and someone else used the same Weave account you could send them messages by creating bookmarks and syncing them.

That is definitely a new kind of messenger!

That's a good question... I'm not really sure how it has "messaging capabilities."

It’s a pity that it doesn’t support 64-bit Linux yet.
I dual boot Vista Home Premium 32 bit with Ubuntu 8 64-bit in my notebook, and I synced Firefox bookmarks in each OS using Foxmark extension. Really nice if I can synced everything else.

That's a good solution if you don't need to take the data with you from one computer to another. I thought about doing that as well since all I really use this for is backups, but it's nice to have an offsite backup just in case.

I don’t know, I think I’ll stick with the Firefly Extension Backup Extension – [addons.mozilla.org] It’ll back up extensions, bookmarks, settings – pretty much any individual item as well as the complete user profile. You can do the backups manually or on a regular schedule that you set up.
