Creating the perfect USB companion - Password storage

Favorite websites available at all time

There are several possible solutions for this problem. First of there is Foxmarks. With Foxmarks your favorites in Firefox are automatically stored on a central server. This means that you can access your favorites from any place and once you install the Foxmarks Firefox plug-in, your favorites are automatically synced. It’s a great application so that’s option one.  More information on foxmarks can be found on www.foxmarks.com.

Option two is Delicious. There is a Firefox plug in for this webbased application as well. You can also add tags with Delicious and create a tag cloud. Delicious can show you news items which they thing you will find interesting based on your tag cloud. Delicious has other options too. Other people can see your favorites and they can alert you on news you might enjoy reading using Delicious as well. These can be seen as a RSS feed in your RSS reader so this will prevent you from getting "you should read this" emails and less email is always better.

The advantage of Foxmarks is that you can put your favorites in folders and that they can be found offline as well. The advantage of Delicious is that it can be used for other purposes as well.

Delicious best suits my needs so the Delicious Firefox plugin is installed on all work stations, and my USB stick. More info on Firefox and Delicious can be found on the delicious blog.
