ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating and using temporary electronic bookmarks, such as those associated with a web browser, uses a digitizer tablet with an inking pen (or stylus). An end-user created symbol on the tablet, in terms of Cartesian coordinates position, is associated contemporaneously with a specific electronically addressable site as a temporary label for the site's address. A set of created symbols is then used as a current index into a data structure that holds the associated value related to the web site, allowing the user to jump between annotated sites using the created symbols. Other data retrieval uses are described.
