Basically what I'm trying to do is assemble a program that will serve a common set of bookmarks to browsers from a centralized location. i.e. There'd be a server that would have the actual bookmarks stored, and clients would reference it when the FIFO was read from by the browser, tell the server about new bookmarks that have been added or changed on their end, etc.

I suppose I could just have the clients keep an eye on the bookmarks file for changes, and diff it, but I was hoping for something a little more transparent and a FIFO seemed like a good idea, until I actually started trying to code it anyway. :)
