Google bookmarks doesn’t really have an API. Which is annoying. It doesn’t even seem to obey any of the many many Google authentication systems, so to use it I have to screen-scrape the login dialog.

However, it will serve all the bookmarks as a mozilla bookmarks html file, so I can write a script that pulls the bookmarks down to the local machine and puts them somewhere predicable, so I can use Launchbar to access them quickly. And I get a backup.

All in all, it’s not a bad solution to the ‘I want to put my bookmarks in the cloud’ problem I’ve been trying to solve recently.
