Any ideas for what to call the bookmarks box? The main purpose of bookmarks is that you get notified when they are updated. We can have a tooltip, but I dunno if we want to rely on it; and we can have text explaining it if we absolutely have to ...

"My Bookmarks", tooltip "You will be told when these sites are updated"

"Subscriptions to Freesites", tooltip "Freenet-hosted web sites, you will be told when they are updated"
"Freesite subscriptions"
"Freenet-based web sites"
"Starting points"

????
