For the want of an online bookmark syncronizer

Throughout my day I often use three or four different computers and virtual terminal servers scattered across Oregon. While operating on the College of Engineering network, my bookmarks transport between terminals. However, when hopping between my laptop and my work computer or to other computers, my bookmarks do not transfer. Likewise, between browersers, my bookmarks do not transfer. Especially with Google Chrome coming out today, I will be even more likely to switch between two or three browsers even on the same computer in a given day.

Looking online, Wikipedia has a decent list of programs but I don’t see anything that catches my fancy and allows me to save to my own server. That last point is key. I want control over where my bookmarks go.

If anyone knows of anything that might fit the bill, I’d be quite happy to try it out.

UPDATE: And no, I don’t particularly want to use Google’s Bookmarks tool as it is anything but seamlessly integrated into my browser. Maybe if they’d make it integrate into browsers, then I’d use it. Even then, I don’t particularly want my bookmarks stored on Google’s servers. I have enough issues as it is with storing my email at the Googleplex.
