I am curious about differente bookmarking tecniques.I am losing control of my bookmarks between dead lager articles, tutorials and useful sites. I can't fine any Hood enough service or tecnique. Nerd help HN!!
It's better now they some to have fixed some of the issues.
I've used a mix of delicious(when I only want the link) evernote and pocket.
Pocket for 2 reason, 1- quick consumption and I bookmark to evernote if I found the article usefull
2- Feedly free doesn't allow to clip rssfeed to evernote but allow pocket
Evernote's Web Clipper. Select the info you really need to remember or the entire article/page, and it'll be saved along with the link and any notes/tags/whatever you add. Lets you store more data than standard bookmarks, and takes away the risk of link rot since the important info is saved on your computer. Plus it works practically anywhere.
Dragdis seemed to be a great solution for a while for me. Until they decided to drop every browsing platform except for Chrome. So if you're using Chrome - you're still in luck.
Just register, install the plugin. You can create folders for various stuff. Drag n droping opens the plugin on the side and you can drop it to any folder you want.
Currently I just use the in-built Firefox bookmarking features. I put everything I bookmark in the bookmark toolbar either directly or in a folder. For sites I use commonly I add the bookmark directly but delete the name so only the favicon shows (to save space). I then use folders for everything else.
Currently I just save it to my firefox bookmarks, maybe adding into a folder for organization. After that I forget about it and never see it again as it gets lost into the abyss of other bookmarks.
I've searched high and low, all over the place for a bookmarking service that satisfies and works well. I've even thought of developing my own, or improving a now defunct service. However, I've recently started using Pinboard. So far, it's certainly the best I've come across. It allows for good organization, takes away the "social" aspect of many of the other bookmarking services - I'm not really looking for my bookmarks to be "your" bookmarks.
My biggest issue was finding something that would allow me to begin to approach the task of organizing the some ~7,000 bookmarks I already had hoarded over my numerous browsers. Pinboard has at least allowed me to begin the daunting task. I'll see where it takes me.

Still sad about them dropping Firefox.
