An increasing number of people save and share bookmarks online. This is also called " social bookmarking". Several free services let you do this. A recent contender is Yahoo!'s " My Web 2.0". A popular service is del.icio.us (the site name is a geeky pun on "delicious").
There are two basic advantages to this. First, you can access your bookmarks from any computer that has internet access. Second, you can check out other people's bookmark lists. You might find some treasures buried there. Of course, there is also the ability to search for others' bookmarks, making their bookmarks treasure easier to find.
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School has a nice "Social Bookmarking Resources " page with links to popular services as well as reviews of many of the services. "Look before you leap". You might also want to check out " Online Link Managers" (bookmark managers) at Prospect.com.
