POWER TIP
Share your bookmarks
Saving and sharing bookmarks is now easier, faster and more social. With a single click, you can now share your bookmarks with your friends on Facebook and your followers on Twitter or Buzz. We show you how many people are following your list so you can track how the popularity of your lists change over time. We've also created a bookmarklet that allows you to add any page on the web to any of your lists, directly from your browser's toolbar, with just one click. When viewing a page that you would like to add to one of your bookmark lists, click the bookmarklet in your browser's toolbar, select the list you want to add it to and you're done. To use this feature, drag the bookmarklet button from any list page to your toolbar.

MISCELLANY
We think it's important for government information to be made available and accessible to the public. To support this goal, we recently introduced the Public Data Explorer, an experimental visualization tool in Google Labs designed to help you comprehend large volumes of data and statistics through rich visualizations. You can mash up data from public agencies, non-profits and organizations using line graphs, bar graphs, maps and bubble charts. We also recently announced a partnership with the Sunlight Foundation to support the Design for America contest to make government data more comprehensible to the public. If you live in the U.S. and have ideas for how government data can be made more accessible and transparent, the deadline to enter the contest is May 17.
