Stashmarks is a free bookmarking web service where users of Google Chrome can register, download the Stashmarks Chrome plugin and then by using the plugin they can easily save bookmarks into their Stashmarks online accounts. If you set the Stashmarks website as your home page, then the bookmarks that you collect can be accessed quickly, similar to how Opera and Firefox have bookmarks displayed, when a new tab is opened.

Websites that you save with the help of Stashmarks are gonna be listed chronologically. Once that they are saved, they should appear in your account practically instantly. Notice that the two websites which are stashed on the image above are stored under Today, which would mean that they were saved quite recently. In order for you to be able to add bookmarks to your Stashmarks account, you’re first gonna have to register, and then install a browser plugin, both of which will be a bit difficult to accomplish seeing how Stashmarks isn’t available for public yet, you’re gonna have to ask for an invite on the main website.
