Bookmarklets are bookmarks of favorites that are just a little bit smarter. Instead of just being a dull link to a page, they can be dynamic, change based on your environment, ask questions, and generally try to be useful.

Bookmarklets are hyperlinks too, so to test-drive them without installing them, just click as if they were regular links.

To install them in your Favorites or Bookmarks, just right-click on the link and select 'Add To Favorites...' (Internet Explorer) or 'Bookmark This Link...' (Firefox).
