I recently converted all my bookmarks to saved copies of the pages in Evernote. This means I have full text search over everything I "bookmark" -- still have the links -- and never lose it regardless of what happens.
In this process, I was shocked at the number of 404s I encountered from relatively recent (last 18 months) bookmarks.
Evernote is a bit of a wreck, but so far the combination of decent copy of page, browser plugins, tags, search, accessibility (phone clients, web client, some native clients) have made it my best option.
- Springtime 12y agoSince 2008 or so I've been saving all pages that I would otherwise be bookmarking. Only in MHT format, but it's convenient. After reading a few quotes on linkrot years ago, and noticing many pages I'd come back to 404'ing I decided bookmarks are useless long term (or even at times short term).
- walterbell 12y agoIs this a feature built into Evernote? If not, what tools did you use for the conversion?
- MetaCosm 12y agoBuilt in. "Clip This Page" or "Clip This Selection". It is a single keypress in FireFox for me.
