I think that organizing bookmarks is actually a pretty important problem that most people have, at least in Safari and Chrome. IIRC, Firefox on the other hand has had tagged bookmarks for sometime.
I use Pinboard with searchable descriptions and tags to create a better organizational system. There are third party clients for mobile as well.
For some bookmarks like places to visit, I've adopted a hierarchical tag system within that.
- marmot777 10y agoUnreal. Pinboard is cool. I put down the $11 and jumped in. I think they're smart to price weirdly yet low. I did a double take at $11 and sort of laughed. Anyway, initial impression is wow pinboard is pretty cool and definitely not trying to be fancy. I like that.
- skinnymuch 10y agoGood choice! Pinboard has been around for over 7 years, creator is on HN (idlewords), and he has posted metrics like active users, data usage, costs, and even revenue for the 7th year anniversary. Product is here to stay :).
- marmot777 10y agoA slightly funny thing is I emailed a friend to mention this newly organized approach but got Pinterest mixed up with pinboard and sent a link to that. I don't even know if people still use Pinterest. I remember I had an account for a little while and people pinned stuff to a wall but I didn't spend all that much time on it as that's not my thing.
- skinnymuch 10y agoHah yeah that happens. When I've geeked out and wanted to search for people talking about Pinboard before, going past initial search results ends up being partially Pinterest stuff.
