In a day and age of interstellar ships, the ability to not share data between them, especially at close range, seems rather silly. The whole process of having to copy bookmarks to cans in space for your corp/alliance mates to be able to get them is convoluted, laggy (opening a can full or bms takes anything from 30 to 60 seconds) and not really up to scratch for w-space users.
My suggestion is the implementation of a central repository (read new screen with lots of nice buttons and lists), one for corp and one for alliance, that members with scanning/scouting role (new role to be implemented) can add and remove bookmarks to. This can be accessed from any station or POS, perhaps a new module for the POS that needs anchoring and onlining, and members can then click "update bookmarks" or something similar. Instantly all their bookmarks are updated to the latest instead of having to take them from a can, then copy them back for the next person.
People with the correct roles can remove old bookmarks and add new ones to the repository. The repository could know when they were last updated, and when the player last updated and a notification could appear when the repository is opened letting the player know new bookmarks are available.
The current method is either poorly coded, or is responsible for a disproportionate amount of load on the servers for the cans to take so long to open. Not only would this make things easier for people, it will save server power.

Thanks for all the positive support and ideas guys :). And a big thanks to Manalapan for adding this to your campaign manifesto. Lets keep the ball rolling. Keep sending this out to your corp/alliance mates and get them to place their thumb up here.

Why not just let us drag bookmarks from our people & places menu into the chat window? Make it a link we can click on to add to our own bookmarks from there.
Edit: Supporting 
Because you still need someone online for that. With the method I described you don't need anyone online, you can just open a screen and click a button to copy them.

Yes and no.
It is a good idea to have a system to share bookmarks like we can share fittings, but if it is "on-the-fly" then scouting requirements actually becomes diminished a lot.
Now: Probe enemy, warp-to, position, fleet warps at X km.
Then: Probe enemy, bookmark location .. whole fleet warps-in.
Solution: Make the repository require a station interface.
My solution did state that it would need a station/pos interface. I know having it on the fly so you could update it from anywhere would be too powerful.
