If you want to know what rating a movie has on IMDB, you go to your browser address bar, type www.imdb.com, wait for the homepage to load, enter the movie name and click search. This is a 3 step process that can be reduced to 1 using a bookmark. that I constantly look things up on.

One thing one always has to remember when using a serach engine is that they aren't really searching for a question moreso than they are searching for results. Don't type "What day is Christmas on this year?" instead type "Christmas 2009 is on", I didn't give the best example, but it helps considerably if you thing more along those lines.

I really like this idea! I have TONS of favorites saved, so many that sometimes it's faster to just type in the site name than click through my fav folders. Bookmarking on steroids!

This is a great time saver for those websites that you frequently visit. It would take some getting used to at first, but could really become a powerful tool. I can see myself using this frequently with Wikipedia for instance. Is this something that will work in all browsers? I had no idea.

The only tricks I really use is tabs. Clicking the mouse wheel on a link I want to view. Instead of looking at a web page and going back to look at another, I can open them all up at once.
