Now that it's summer and I have an endless amount of time surfing, my bookmarks is stacking up. I bet it's the case for everyone else as well as we look for those cheap deals or try to stay current. So the question is how do you keep track of your bookmarks?

I'll start: here are the folders I have:

  • Business
  • Fun and Games
  • Multimedia
  • News
  • Personal
  • Resources
  • Search
  • Shopping
  • Technology
  • University

I'm thinking about organizing them into function types like news and blogs, social/forums, references, and resources.

I had well over 150, I procrastinated forever about cleaning it up and I just recently did it and got down to 21. I do have to say that one of the best features of Firefox 3.0 is that I don't need to have my bookmarks sidebar always open, I simply start typing the name of the bookmark in the address bar and it comes up.

As far as organization, I got down to 2 folders:

Common: contains all of the ones I check/hit on a daily basis for news, forums, deals, tech stuff, etc.

Email: contains links to Gmail, Hotmail, GoDaddy Webmail and Yahoo Mail

Simplify........

Dont forget stuff.

I have like 4 stuff folders other than the categories in the original post

its like

stuff#1

stuff#2

stuff#3

etc.

A very handy word if you just hate the word miscellaneous

and oh yeah.. some people also use a p0rn folder... with its different "genres" within that folder

I have pretty elaborate bookmarks... (> = subfolder)

*junk outside of folders*

As I'm surfing the internet, I will bookmark many things. It might be a story or a news item I didn't feel like reading at that moment, a site I briefly went to for a specific reason that I was interested in perusing again, something funny/interesting I've saved to show someone else, or misc. things that need to be categorized.

Periodically I will go through all of those things and put them in folders, and tag them accordingly. I also occasionally go through all of my dozens of sites to make sure the websites are still active. There's nothing like needing to check out some information, and finding the one site you saved for such an occasion to be dead.

I don't have them in folders, I just have them in the default/root folder which produces a giant single list with around 1,000+ web pages bookmarked. When I click "bookmarks" it takes around 10 to 20 seconds for the menu to appear. To scroll manually from the top to the bottom of the list takes about 15 minutes. I should sort them one day, lol :)

* Bookmarks Toolbar - sites I visit regularly (gmail, google, reddit, neowin, yt, etc.)

* Bookmarks Menu - sites I visit less often, but still on a fairly regular basis (at least once a day)

Then there's also 5 or 6 folders in my Bookmarks menu with sites I rarely visit, but are somewhat important... I try to keep it clean, so I never have more than 50ish bookmarks.

for about ~200 bookmarks I use:

the 3 default folders: Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar and Unfiled Bookmarks

And no subfolders

...but many tags.

Tagging is so much easier and useful than sorting things into folders.

We can only hope for an entire file system front-end based on such is eventually implemented.

That's a very organized way to sort bookmarks. Thanks for sharing!

Firefox 3 makes bookmarks a breeze without having to strictly categorise bookmarks into folders. Just click the star in the location bar and done. Want to make it easier to find later, click the yellow star again and add a couple tags which will aid in Awesome bar recall. These are automatically added to an Unsorted folder which keeps your usual Bookmarks menu nice and clean.

That's the way I do my bookmarks, with a dash of del.icio.us for stuff I want to pull up from anywhere, as well as Instapaper + Read Later + Instapaper app on my iPod touch which works really well.

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
