However, I just checked my bookmarks in Firefox and it is 117, so "hundreds" was a bit inaccurate. :) I have the same problem with tagging, too. I have found that I tend to tag items in generic and specific categories, so a link to an article about a new iPod/iTunes trick might get tagged generally as Technology, but also as "iPod" and/or Apple. I have discovered several tagged as Tech instead of Technology and other variations on the exact same thing. I am going through and consolidating those so that I don't have Tech and Technology, only Technology. Better to do it now when my online list is relatively small. :) Thanks for your thoughts.

I have a top 50 or so for sites that I visit often that do not have RSS feeds, or that have sporadic content that I only check on, say, once a month. In that top fifty I have forums, news sites, administration links, web host links, my start page, my feed reader, and many other links that I visit from time-to-time. Some I visit daily, others when I need to. I use the Fx bookmarks toolbar to have (mostly) one-click access. Sites that are a little further down the "need" rank get thrown in a folder, but still accessible on the toolbar. If I ever go more than a year without visiting a site at least a few times, I delete that bookmark from Fx. On Ma.gnolia, I store all my research, interesting articles, online tools, "honeypots", and other cool findings. What I usually do while I'm scouring around is open tabs in Fx to articles that I spot and want to read. Over time, I get around to reading them. Sometimes I bookmark them if they are good. Other times, I don't get around to reading them, so I mark them in Ma.gnolia and revisit later. I try to tag everything really well, though I've noticed lately that I have hundreds and hundreds of tags, so I think I might be a bit lost in retrieval mode. I normally only need my recent marks, but occasionally I'll dig deep, though I typically know what I'm after, so I just search for it rather than filter with tags. That's my bookmarking technique.
