5 Kickass Tools to Effectively Manage Your Bookmarks
If you’re the average web surfer, you have lots of bookmarks saved. You just press the “Bookmark!” button on your favourite sites, and the site gets saved in your bookmarks. But over time, this can get messy. When the time comes to find a particular site, wading through ALL your bookmarks can be a daunting task.
So, why not organise your bookmarks? Sure, it can take time upfront, but it’s worthy in the long run. Here are 5 tools to effectively organise and manage your bookmarks.
1. FruitfulTime BookmarkManager
This free bookmark manager by FruitfulTime allows you to do a lot with your bookmarks. You can import bookmarks from your internet browser, bookmark pages automatically with a global hot key, share your bookmarks via email and more. The best thing is, this program makes your bookmarks portable: you carry them around on a USB.

2. Delicious + Firefox extension
Delicious is an awesome online bookmarking service that allows you to save favourite pages online. Delicious has an addon for Firefox, that allows you to save bookmarks directly to Delicious while using Firefox. You can also edit, view, and organise all your bookmarks easily.
One advantage this will give you is that your bookmarks are stored online, rather than on your computer – this means you can access them anywhere. Got something you don’t want to share with other people on Delicious? Just press that “Do not share” button!
What’s more is that you can import bookmarks already in Firefox to your Delicious account.
3. Xmarks
Formerly known as Foxmarks, Xmarks is an awesome Firefox addon for people who work on multiple computers. Xmarks will ensure that the bookmarks on each computer (that has Firefox and Xmarks installed) are synchronized. For example, if you work from a desktop computer and a laptop, this handy addon is likely to save you a lot of time.
4. Google Bookmarks
Google has its own online bookmarking service. It is very simple and not very flashy – which is what you might expect of a Google service – but it works perfectly. You can bookmark pages by using the bookmarklet and you can edit and export your bookmarks. That’s pretty much all you can do. I suppose an option to import bookmarks and share them would make Google bookmarks more attractive.
5. Smart Bookmarks Bar
This Firefox addon is ideal for you if you have a lot of bookmarks, and the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox is overcrowded. This add-on displays just the icons, instead of the whole names of bookmarks, thus creating a lot more space for your bookmarks.
