A bookmark is a reference made in your Internet web browser software application for the pu-rpose of being able to quickly and easily return to and retrieve web pages/websites that you have previously been to and bookmarked. Bookmarks are usually represented by a drop down menu at the top of your web browser or by a side bar listing. Bookmarks made in the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser application are referred to as favorites. When you see a link on a website that says bookmark this website, then this link usually represents an automated way to add the link to your bookmarks simply by clicking the link. Bookmarks can often be imported and exported between browsers by the web browsers themselves or by third party applications.
