Abstract
Bookmark services are provided in which user-selected bookmarks to favorite web pages are stored. In response to receiving a request for a web page from a particular user, the website operator may make a call to the bookmark service to obtain bookmarks that were previously selected by that user. The bookmark service forwards the bookmarks for the user to the website operator, and the website operator includes these bookmarks within the web page that is rendered to the user. Since the bookmarks are stored remotely at a bookmark service, the bookmarks may be available to the user regardless of the electronic device or web browser that is used to request a web page. The bookmarks that are rendered on the web page may also include recommended bookmarks to web pages that are deemed as possibly being of interest to a particular user.
