Online Bookmark Manager Suggestions?
nonLocal Bookmarks asks: "I have been looking for an online bookmark manager to allow me access to my bookmarks at various computers. There are a bunch of them out there, but most of them use the traditional tree structure. I am looking for something that lists everything cleanly on one page. The only one I can find so far that does this is SiteJot. But this site is missing a few other features I am looking for. I was wandering if any Slashdot readers could recommend a good bookmark manager?"
Sitebar www.sitebar.org. You need LAMP to run it, but it works great for me. It has multi-user accounts so I can setup accounts for whoever I want to maintain bookmarks. Since it's hosted, you can be anywhere. I prefer it because I like to have my bookmarks available whether I'm at home, at work, or at a cybercafe.

This lets you manage bookmarks, share them with other users, and let your browse their lists.

Cross Platform Browser Bookmark Autosyncing?.
Perhaps someone should bookmark this?
BTW, there is a Firefox extension that can automatically sync to your Delicious bookmarks. Or you can just take advantage of Delicious' RSS feeds.
IMHO, linkagogo.com is the best.
If you go to the download tab, it can export as a bookmark file, which can be automatically opened in a new window, giving you the single page you want.
A recently added feature is a weekly email of your bookmarks, so if the service does fold, at least you won't lose too many links.
Why not simply upload a really simple HTML page onto Geocities or some other free, limited use, hosting site? You can edit your list without a fancy applet too, if you like. Sure, your bookmarks are public. Just make sure you don't have any personally identifying information.
.html backups, and more folders.
If you are a privacy freak (no offense whatsoever, we love you guys), consider simply e-mailing the list to to some free HTML enabled web based e-mail client that you can later update through. It's that simple.
Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera; they all export bookmark lists. Schedule your computer to automatically save them. Heck, maybe you could use GMail as a network drive as was suggested a while ago here on Slashdot. That way, you can always have a fresh bookmarks list at ready disposal, regardless of where you are.
Remember though, third party tools are never reliable. Birds fly south, snow melts, and companies go under. It's best just to manage your bookmarks the old fashioned way: folders,
http://del.icio.us/
Make you're own, toolbar links for quick access.
Also you can browse others links, and have your links as RSS feeds.
If you don't like tree structures, why not just put all of your bookmarks in the root folder?
It's not hard to activate links... http://del.icio.us/> results in http://del.icio.us/. Ok, I know I'm lazy, but an extra 5 seconds in making your post makes it a better experience for all.
Thanks!
treemenu has a large variety of viewing methods. i use them for different purposes, but find it easy and friendly and fast when needed.

You can expand the folders to get it on one whole page if you want.
If you use a mozilla based browser you can add a link in your toolbar to add bookmarks to the manager.

I kid you not. My Dad initially kept his favorite sites on index/recipe cards and kept them in one of those little boxes. That's pretty portable.
He was impressed, however, when I showed him how to use browser bookmarks.
Here before all but 8486 of you.
Real men just upload their bookmarks on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.
Thei reminds me of a story I tell to illustrate how idiotic my "years in the valley" were. I was working for this "dot.com" and on a lunch break at the local Bagel shop (you know the one...in that little shopping mall in Redwood shores next to the Starbucks...)
I was just sitting down to enjoy my lunch when I overhear a conversation:
Guy1: So they store the Bookmarks ONLINE and can access them wherever they are. The VC's think its a go, and are willing to shell out the 4 mill to get it going!
Guy2: Can't you just export the bookmark links to a file and save them locally as an HTML page? Carry that one file with you and just maintain the updates locally? Why would anyone want to use this as a Service...much less Pay for access??
Guy1: Did you not hear me...? Its gonna be ONLINE!. People will flock to it for that reason alone. We should have the capital by the end of the week!
Guy2: Still sounds like a stupid idea to me....
Just though I would share... ;-)
You keep going until you die..."Me".
Because My karma sucks I:ll just take the hit, even though this info is good. Here:s the best way.. damn this japanese keyboard is wierd.

Use firefox. Download Bookmark synchronizer, and get your own webspace.
this check this link out.

you can sync your bookmarks from home work etc, and using a xsl stylesheet, show them as a webpage. Updating the bookmark xbel file constantly, the page will always be new. Don:t worry about cron scripts or whatever. syncing between computers is the way to go.
