Ask HN: How do you organize/manage your bookmarks?
I'm starting a couple of new projects and have bookmarks all over the place -- is there some tool that you use that's totally kick-ass? I'm currently bookmarking things in my browser and/or Google Bookmarks.
Edit: More specifically, I'm looking for help with managing large numbers of bookmarks -- or maybe just help with a bad memory. ;) I tried using Delicious but it did not fit the bill well. I now use Firefox Sync, which seamlessly syncs all my bookmarks. I use 'Read it Later' (FF addon) to keep track of my to-read list and Google Reader for about 40-50 RSS feeds. I think the downside is not being able to sync with other browsers (may be there is a Chrome extension for FF Sync??, I am not sure). And I really did not dig the whole social bookmarking thing, I just tweet any interesting link I find. As for using specific tools, the problem is one cannot be sure if it is going to be supported continuously. Though every tool provides a way to export data if it ever is discontinued, the overhead of finding a new tool and getting used to it is tiresome. So I find it better to stick to the default browser provided tools. What didn't you like about Delicious? The workflow with delicious was not smooth. I had installed the FF addon. (Do remember it was a while ago) When you click on the delicious button a new window opens, which I don't really need and there was no way to turn it off or atleast I cudn't find one. I like the star icon in the FF address bar, one-click and done. Double-click to add tags, very intuitive and maintains the flow. The delicious website was a drag, bad UI and navigation, just seemed too much work for just bookmarking. I really liked their social sharing features though, but that was not my priority. I use Pinbord.in (and before that, delicious). It won't help you organize them but will let you tag and find them easily later. I wrote my own chrome extension to easily add bookmarks to pinboard and sync them locally so I can easily search through them in my browser. Yeah, I've thought about signing up for pinboard before. Have you released the extension anywhere? I tried to upload it to the chrome gallery. But the upload process required my images to fit some specifics which I tried to do but didn't accept. After a few minutes, I couldn't be bothered and didn't release it there. The code is available here: https://bitbucket.org/statictype/code/src/07e811007297/pinbo...
(Or mail me if you want it in a zip file. - shivanan at statictype.org) It's basically a pinboard clone of my earlier delicious extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/admlhjejpgfmlfhooo... BTW, the chrome gallery has lots of delicious/pinboard extensions. You may want to look at those too. Evernote - it may not be in your browser, but it sure allows me to keep track of websites I want to remember, why, and easily search for them. Plus, I already use it for a bunch of other stuff. Anyone find bookmarking a black hole? It's something I've been thinking about. Something like a reverse Q&A site where you add the questions a blog post answers. I started using diigo a while back. While I thought I valued the caching feature a lot (back then it was still free), I must admit that I didn't ever made most out of it. Sounds cool. Thanks! I wrote my own very minimal social bookmarking service: Just use Opera. Opera Link has automatically kicked bookmark butt for a while. Synced bookmarks in Google Chrome. Same here. I <3 Google Chrome.
