What’s Your Favorite Bookmarking Tool

I’ve been spending a little bit of time recently going through the thousands of bookmarks I’ve got saved in my local Firefox browser. I’ve been a happy user of the Google Toolbar for quite some time now and have relied on it for keeping most of my bookmarks.

I stayed away from del.icio.us for quite awhile, but have recently started using that as well to organize my websites. My thoughts behind using del.icio.us was to export all my existing bookmarks to it, but then also use it as a storage place for all the interesting websites I came across regularly.

I’ve got Firefox bookmarks, I run Internet Explorer because I have a number of clients that have their as their corporate default browser so I have IE favorites as well. Then there’s the Google toolbar bookmarks and my del.icio.us links going too. Although not quite a favorite or bookmark, I’ve also got all my RSS feeds stored in Bloglines. How do you keep everything organized?

There’s a challenge with me of trying to figure out how to effectively use everything as needed without duplicating effort or usefulness. I think the best way to move forward is to really look at each tool and determine how you want to use each one for yourself. As you’re using it, then remember how and when you’ve decided to use each one for it’s own specific task.

    I use Read-It-Later which is available for all browsers and even for mobile devices like iPhone. Highly recommended

    I tend to use Diigo to save anything I want to keep/share, and then use the auto-export function to Delicious, which means if one service disapears, then everything is backed up at the other.

    And then everything else is in Google Reader, which auto-publishes shared items to Publish2 and Social Median, to enable me to share things further, and again, to provide some kind of back-up.

    I use Delicious. There must be something better, I just have not taken the time to find it.
