What do you do when you find a really great website that you want to use with your class or an interesting article to share with your colleagues or you vaguely remember something that caught your eye a few days ago, but now you can't find the link? I often create bookmarks for these situations, but if you switch computers or are using a phone or tablet it can quickly get pretty confusing remember which device you used to save a particular link. If you're using Chrome, you can sign in and link data across computers and other devices. I should note here that you can do the same with several other browsers.
Another advantage to signing into Chrome is that you can sync extensions which are in browser applications that can be used to do everything from capture notes like with Evernote to edit pictures with extensions like Picmonkey or Pixlr. That means that no matter where you access Chrome, you will have all your synced data (bookmarks, extension, etc.) You have the option to choose which data to sync, so you can include passwords if you want, and you can also set up a sync password which is separate from your regular account password for added security.
