organize my bookmarks

Just started using it. Have no idea what is going on with it. :S

.

6019 bookmarks on my laptop. Oh dear. Today I started taking baby steps; I began sorting through 2+ years of NPR segments I bookmarked to listen to later, and I’m deleting all but the ones I’ll want to listen to again. Next, it’ll be news stories, and I’ll put them on Stumble Upon, or Facebook, or blog about them, whatever. After that, it’s YouTube videos.

Do I really need about 50 ebay shops bookmarked? Am I likely to buy from them all?

This is annoying.

My goodness there are STILL far too many of them. And I deleted some 600-odd ones LAST summer.

(mind, most of those had been around since I was 12.)

today. Really trying to re-assess which links I’ll want to go to again and which I don’t need, then I’ll know what I have and it’ll be more organized.

It was easier than I thought, exported them to del.icio.us and added proper tags – so glad I did it, not it’s easy to find something in them and with the plug-in for FF it is easy to add new ones. On del.icio I also organized lists of movies I have seen and movies that I want to see.

trying.

Deleting some I thought I wanted but I realize now I don’t need them.

Are a complete mess! I ought to be ashamed. Firefox loathes Cole.

I didn’t really remember where a lot of my bookmarks went to, so I had to do a lot of click click clicking.

I guess the best strategy for this is to think about the types of things you do most often online and create individual folders for those categories. For me, that was reading news, watching video clips, paying bills and researching work-related stuff.

Organizing my bookmarks also got me thinking about linking directly to my most frequently visited secondary Web pages, such as the message boards for my favorite TV shows. I’m sure this will save me so much time in the long run.
