How to synchronize Safari bookmarks and Yahoo! bookmarks?

I like very much to keep my bookmarks online with yahoo! bookmarks, so I can access them both on my home macbook and my work pc.
However, while it's very easy to use this setup with the firefox browser and the yahoo toolbar, I could not find an easy way to achieve the same using the safari browser (no yahoo toolbar for safari 😟.

Any suggestion/tools to synchronize yahoo bookmarks and safari???

Thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Yahoo Bookmarks are the domain of Yahoo. Any suggestions, including future Safari compatibility ought to be directed to Yahoo. At the moment, only Firefox on the Mac platform can use the Yahoo toolbar.

Currently, the only way to synch bookmarks within Safari with other machines is via a .Mac account. If you want to direct comments to Apple, use the Safari Menu>Report bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond to these notices (info used for internal purposes), it remains a good channel for getting information to Apple software engineers.

Thanks for the feedback.
It probably relates to the "closed" structure of safari, with no/limited support for third party toolbars/enhancements.

Posted the question here hoping that someone developed some tool/utility to synch safari bookmarks with yahoo bookmarks, dont mind whether from apple, yahoo or someone else... just asked the apple user community...

You're welcome.

Not sure about the future of 3rd party add-ons to Safari. OS X Leopard does not support InputManager items. This has been the primary vehicle for Safari enhancements. Seems 3rd party developers will need to find another way to integrate into Safari.

Bookmark synching in Safari would be a nice thing. Same with Mail and Address Book. To date, outside of .Mac, no avenue is available for doing so.
