A1 Webmarks, stands for Anywhere 1 click away, and is a personal bookmarking site with additional social attributes

A1 Webmarks, (which musn't be confused with the steak sauce) stands for Anywhere 1 click away, and is a personal bookmarking site with additional social attributes. It allows users to categorize and tag personal webmarks for assignation to a topic; most used webmarks, or favorites, can be accessed instantaneously, and all webmarks are alphabetized and checked periodically so that you'll know which ones are no longer accessible. The social aspect of A1 comes in the form of recommendations; based on usage info of all A1 webmarkers, the site will point you in the direction of other sites you may enjoy. A1 also allows its users to see the most popular tags and the corresponding webmarks. There are lists of the most popular webmarks on a specific topic and users can create new ones. to add to your Webmark you have three choices available to you: you can 1) click on the "My Webmarks" button and enter the url of the page you want marked, 2) you can also use the "add" link if you're on the site, or in your own webmarks, or finally you can choose option 3) and download the webmarks bookmarklet. The site requires that you sign up to use it, but overall, it's pretty useful and easy to navigate.

"A webmark marks a location on the web, just like a bookmark marks a location in a book. It's a web page, whose address you want to remember for some reason. Webmarks are often called bookmarks or favorites, especially when the webmark itself is stored offline on your PC."
