Which "text boxes"? Any form on Teh Intertubes?

It's easy (it just requires a habit of decent tagging), and effective -- when I remember an information I found important from a website I visited, it's usually in my bookmarks, tagged properly. This means 95% of the time as far as information I have already seen is concerned, the AwesomeBar reaching down to my bookmarks is enough to get what I need, no need to go to Google here. > > The downside, of course, is that it works only for links that I have > > already > > visited. > > > > So here's the idea: sharing bookmark tags and links with each other, via > > some > > extention for example, and making "The Awesome Bar" (damn, I hate that > > name) > > sift through bookmarks/tags of people in your "network" (what that means > > would > > have to be defined, but as Mozilla Sync can already store bookmarks, the > > data > > can already be on a server, just use it). > > An even simpler proposal: assuming the AwesomeBar doesn't already include > live bookmarks in its autocomplete functionality, add it.

Not that easy, as everybody would need to publish their bookmark RSS/Atom channels not entirely in accordance with how it is being done usually on the 'Net. Usually, only the first 10-30 headlines/items are in the RSS/Atom channel, the older ones (it is assumed) are already cached in users' RSS/Atom readers. Firefox does not cache live bookmarks, so each time you only get the current 10-30 items, all older are "lost". This makes sense with regard to the intended use of this functionality in Firefox (and other browsers), but unfortunately makes it harder to implement interesting bookmarks sharing the way you described. -- Pozdr rysiek
