In depth

A closer look at Finder Bookmarks 1.1

Finder Bookmarks is an editor for Web Location Files, the browser-independent bookmarks that you can store anywhere on your Macintosh. This application can edit locations and attach site icons to the Web Location's icon. It also adds a powerful new kind of location file, Dynamic Locations, for faster web searching and lookups.

Advantages of Finder Bookmarks over browser bookmarks:

Not specific to any particular browser - If you use more than one browser or decide to switch browsers, your bookmark collection does not need to be imported, exported, or changed in any way.
Better organization - Rename and organize your bookmarks as you use them, not in a clumsy bookmark manager. Store Web Locations related to a project with every other file in the project, and archive them anywhere you wish.
More accessible - You don't need to open a browser and then look for a bookmark; your Web Location collection is right in the Finder.
Customizable by folder - Like any folder in the Finder, one containing Web Locations can have unique View Options. You could sort one Web Location folder by date created, and another alphabetically.
More powerful - No Web browser's bookmarks are as flexible as Dynamic Locations, which can have multiple parameters in the URL. You can save time by skipping a site's front page. Instead, use Finder Bookmarks to enter information before you go to Google, Dictionary.com, or even MapQuest.
