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'?"

  1. Del.icio.us is not a bookmarks manager! by Bootle · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but http://del.icio.us is great!

    In my opinion, it's not a good bookmarks manager, though it's helpful for haivng bookmarks available at any computer. What it is, hoewever, is a great way to browse sites that other people really like. That is it's real strength!

    Go to URL del.icio.us/tag/xxx where xxx is the keyword people are using and you get a list of lots of cool sites people are bookmarking. /tag/osx yields lots of cool mac OS X links.

    I wish there was some way to filter out duplicate URLs, but other than that this is a great way to discover cool new links. Great for going through when your bored!
