Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management?

slashdot_commentator asks: "My bookmark collection has hit a few thousand at this point. Anything that looks interesting, or may be of interest in the future, I tuck away. I group them in roughly 30 different subfolders based on topic. I've decided I consume too much effort in organizing them, and need to find a better solution. I've looked at radically different systems like del.icio.us, but its not for me. I'm even toying with writing a plugin/replacement to the current built-in bookmark manager. Can anyone recommend a plugin or package? Or alternately, features they would like to see in a 'bookmark manager'?"

    Highlight all and press +

    It's more fun to rediscover the web, rather than just visiting the same sites all the time.

  2. Tabbed browsing by MarkusQ · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tabbed browsing has really reduced my need for bookmarks. Instead of bookmarking things, I just open them in another tab.

    When the tabs get too small to see the icons I just open another window.

    When there are too many windows to keep track of, I just switch to a new desktop.

    I would recommend investing in a good UPS if you plan to adopt this system though.

    Or just go to del.icio.us/tag/xxx (assuming you're not at work) ;)
