A method and a system for sharing bookmark information between a plurality of computer users, as well as for permitting a single computer user to retrieve the bookmark information from a plurality of computers. The bookmark information includes at least the URL of the Web page, but may optionally include other information as well, such as a brief description of the contents of the Web page, or of the area of interest according to which the Web page may be classified. The bookmark information may be selected, such that only a portion of the personal bookmark information of a computer user is shared. Furthermore, the other computer user or users with which the information is shared may be selected according to specific identification, according to which one or more individual users are identified as recipients, according to a category of such users, or a combination thereof. The category of users may be determined according to a shared area of interest, for example. Preferably, such bookmark information is shared between users according to a "delta", such that only that information which has been altered since the last exchange of information is exchanged, in order to avoid multiple exchanges of entire bookmark information repositories between users. Also preferably, the bookmark information is exchanged between users who are subscribers to a system providing these services, such that for example advertisements may be sent to these subscribers. Furthermore, preferably statistics are kept with regard to the Web pages bookmarked by the users, for example in order to rate a Web page. As another option, such information may be used in order to provide a search engine with more details than simply keywords for searching for relevant Web pages according to a request of a user. For example, the search engine optionally determines the relevance of a particular Web page to a particular area of interest according to the number of users who have bookmarked that Web page. Thus, the system and method of the present invention are able to augment search engines as well as to enable sharing of bookmark information between two or more users.
