Web 2.0 Bookmarking

One of those presenting at Demo '08 is iterasi.

Their product is a bookmarking facility that can handle the dynamic, AJAX-based nature of Web 2.0 sites.

You know the sort of thing I mean: you go to Google Maps, enter an address, drag the map around, zoom in a bit ... and then try to bookmark the page you're seeing.
