Delicious can be used to import bookmarks from one computer to another. I don't use it much anymore, since I am pretty much exclusively on my laptop as opposed to my desktop.

The Internet Archive and more than 20 Web companies are banding together to preserve the historical records of the abbreviated Internet addresses that are passed around on services such as Twitter. Services such as Bit.ly and TinyURL allow consumers to convert a lengthy Web address into a miniaturized one. They have soared in popularity in recent years with the advent of Twitter, which limits users to 140 characters per post. Shortened links...

Civil fines had nothing to do with it - they were simply out-hacked....

Oh wow, AnglRdr. That looks like just what I'm looking for! Thank you. Damn you, Johnny Slick, I was googling all over the place, a few months ago and coming up with nada. Then your words found me a couple forums I can use. Just.use.the.right.words.tag. Thanks, Johnny!
