There's so much out there, it's easy to think "hey, that looks like a good thing!". But what may look like a good thing can be a scam, a technological petrie dish for viruses, a phishing expedition, or other disastrous malady. I myself am starting to ask people I've come to trust about ways to get my AOL bookmarks transferred into Firefox or IE, since AOL uses a rather exclusive format for their bookmark files that other programs cannot import. I have over 500 bookmarks (over 300 genealogy ones alone), so going to each site to C & P the url and then going to them in IE or Firefox is not feasible. I know there are services available to store them online, but I know nothing about them and won't use them until I am convinced they're reputable and safe. Until I do, I'm stuck with AOL, which is what they counted on when they developed their bookmarking format.
