Interesting concept, I think I'd personally use it if it's implemented :)

I am trying to see if it's possible to do in a completely webapp type method (you can't really expect web developers to integrate code on server side to support this). A definitely possible method is a browser plug-in some way, if so I see the idea being implementedin a similar fashion to to Foxmarks/Xmarks in the way do the browser plugin -> sync to servers and across all your browser locations.

Agreed, the browser plug-in/extension is the way I would like to go. You're right in that you couldn't expect web developers to integrate anything and with that method, they wouldn't need to.

I actually have an extremely basic proof of concept going using Chrome Extensions, XML and jQuery. If I decide to keep going with it, then I would need to start looking into targetting Firefox, Safari, IE as well.

Good idea. Firefox already has a similar addon. Hope you are thinking of better features. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8658?src=api
