Check out a few examples of how Backflip solves common problems.
You Use More Than One Computer - You may have Bookmarks on your home computer as well as on a computer at work. Perhaps you use several computers at work.

Now there’s a central place for all of your Web discoveries. And you can access them anytime, anywhere.
You Need to Organize Your Research - After sifting through dozens or hundreds of Web pages, you find the ones you like.
