The bookmark "inbox"
Clicking on the down-arrow next to the star brings up the most recent items in the bookmarks inbox. When a bookmark is added, it is marked as "unread" (even though the user is currently on the page) and appears bold. When they visit the page again, it becomes "read" and is no longer bold. This is to support the "to-do list" metaphor: bookmarked pages that have not been visited are more prominent to allow easier finding.
As more items are added, older items fall off the bottom of the menu. They would still be accessable though the Places UI by clicking "View all bookmarks and tags" at the bottom.The full UI would also allow tagging and filing into bookmarks folders: places_new.png
''Open question #1:'' Is this the best way to expose the items in the inbox? First, the target of the small down arrow may not be big enough, and is not obvious for many new users. Perhaps we want to add a separate button like IE?
