Abstract
Methods, systems, and products bookmark gaming applications. When a player wishes to pause a gaming application, a bookmark may be created. The bookmark identifies a location in the gaming application at which play is paused. Play may then be resumed from the bookmark, whether at a same device or at a different device.

- retrieving, by the server, a bookmark of the bookmarks from the electronic database, the bookmark identifying a logical location from which the gaming software application was previously paused;
- and
- resuming, by the server, the gaming software application from the logical location identified by the bookmark.
