Bookmarks are just like the ones you put into your favorite book.In the case of the web they are used to mark a site that you want to return back to a later time.The Netscape browser lets you bookmark any site and save the bookmarks in a file you can recall at any time .Microsoft Internet Explorer uses the term ‘’favorite’’ instead of bookmark for the same concept.A shortcut back to a favorite Web page.When you find a Web page that you like,you can add it to your list of bookmarks,from your menu bar,the next anytime you want to return to that page ,just select this page from your list of bookmarks.

(or favorite) Most Web browsers give you an option of adding a URL to a "HotList" or by marking it with a "Bookmark". By doing this, you can store the linking information (the URL) to any Web pages you plan to revisit. That way, if you decide to go back to a Web site, its URL is already catalogued and at your fingertips for easy reference. (Spry Mosaic uses "HotLists", Netscape Navigator uses "Bookmarks" and Microsoft Internet Explorer uses "Favorites"). Other Web browsers may use those terms, or may call their URL-saving feature something else.)
