Luckly I was able to recover my bookmarks which I use frequently by using this plugin called Xmarks which went by the name fox marks. If your a die hard Internet Explorer fan Xmarks has added the a IE compatable version of the plugin.
Anyway how this plugin works is you create a user and a password and it syncs(copies your favorites to their server) to what bookmarks you have and backs up your bookmarks on their server. The best part is your out of town on someone else's computer your able to login and view your bookmarks.
Check this out if lets say you had to do a reinstall you just go back and reinstall the xmarks plugin, login and update your bookmarks and its like you never lost them.
So now when you tell someone you found a cool website and you bookmarked it you can retrevie it online with no problems. I believe also you can share your bookmarks page for your friends to view as well so its a pretty cool favorites plugin.
So check it out Xmarks.com
