    ckrause asks: "What is everybody using to keep their bookmarks organized? I tried backflip.com but their indexing engine didn't work very well and their search engine was even worse. The problem is that I have got so many good bookmarks, but I have no way to find the one I am looking for. How is everybody handling this? Are you using some software or are you just browsing through them every time you are trying to find that special page you bookmarked three months ago? I think this is a major usability issue for the web. It is one thing to remember Amazon.com when you need a book, but it is impossible to memorize some page three clicks deep on some fully scripted WWW site." (Read More)

    A good question, but I must ammend to this a bit. Tracking bookmarks is not a usability issue for the web. It's an organizational issue on the client side. Therefore solutions that work for one person may not always work for everybody. With that said, it would still help out to share ideas and let ckrause pick the method (or combination of methods) that will work the best for him.
