Spent the last hour deleting bookmarks - didn't get very far and still have 134 bookmarks left.

And that's not counting the 375 favourited Stumbles.

I'm a virtual packrat.

Someone tell me I don't have too many bookmarks, kthx.

Also, isn't there a smart way to bookmark pages without actually, well, bookmarking them? Something? Anything?

It's wierd... I bookmark everywhere I go to...and yet when I check my bookmark bar...they're always gone...

I have a lot of stumble bookmarks. In fact, I find it better to do that, than to rely on FF to keep my bookmarks safe.

Wow...I thought I bookmarked too much...

The thumbs up stumble with the intent to come back to that page is a farce. I've never come back to it.

I hardly ever bookmark, and those are never visited either. I have a bar of pages I actually visit pretty often. Some for work, some for looking at cars I can't afford, a blog from a friend.

Bookmarks and thumbs up are empty promises from me...

Your browsers officially suck.

The thumbs up stumble with the intent to come back to that page is a farce. I've never come back to it.I know. :( And you can't even delete those like you can bookmarks! At least I don't think you can.

I have 2,743 bookmarks, all filed away nicely.

That's like the Stumble Upon list, right?

Also, yay, you suck more than I do. <3

I have maybe 5 pages bookmarked. That's because I usually just memorize URLs of sites that I know I'm going to need later.

And here I intended that as the joke option...

Do you memorize crappily long and nonsensical ones, too?

I have folders for the folders for the folders for my bookmarks. Meh, at least they're organized :p

I have 26 bookmarks, but almost 10 of them are for car info and printers I can no longer afford.

Trivia: I have a folder just for things I might get Sally for Christmas.

OT Hi Ruff! /wave! Hey, if you'll be Ollie, I'll be Garky, and we'll see if we can't take over this place ;)

I generally don't need to. I'll memorize the URL for the index page and then navigate from there.

Way too sensible.

This doesn't sound like a system I should strive to adapt.

Most of the sites I visit are in the address bar, so I just type in the first few letters and click. *nods*

*changes name to Ollie*

This doesn't sound like a system I should strive to adapt.

That's how I organize my photos. Well, how I did. I really don't try anymore, I just look at the filename online and search it.

Way too sensible.

Guilty as charged.

I've got 64 bookmarks I use regularly. Of course, to get in to my bookmarks, something has to seriously kick ass.

I have too many bookmarks....that is for sure. A lot relate to debate here at NSG.......I still have some entitled Eutrusca, for crying out loud!!

* makes note to purge the files.

Unless my newly written bookmarks.html parsing, link counting script is lying to me, I have 445 bookmarks. It might count my bookmark folders too, I'm not sure.

For pages that I frequent often (NS, news sites, etc) I generally don't need to bookmark them. Most of the time they are easily locatable in the address bar history (which I keep tidy for that very reason), and even if they're not I can remember them. My bookmarks are mostly rarely-frequented-but-useful sites, or sites that I've stumbled across and found useful enough to keep. I've got a few, but I keep my bookmarks fairly organised, so it's not a problem.

I only bookmark sites that I think I'll forget to go back to and that I might need later.

I have 7 bookmarks. Four are school related. The other three are just ones I visit too often to keep typing.

I never understood the point of bookmarks. Companies like Google provide huge databases of links for people to search for free; search engines are basically autonomous, self-organizing, and self-updating bookmark collections. And a site visited often enough becomes memorized and thus does not require a bookmark.

I have bookmarks, but I haven't actually used them in a very long time.

24. Webcomics mostly, story sites, NationStates (not NSG that way I remember to look at my nation occasionally) two other forums.

Some websites, especially those focussed on niche subjects, aren't always easy to find again even with a search engine.

They are if you enter the URL.

Yeah. But then, if you knew the URL, you wouldn't be entering it into a search engine in the first place would you?!

I've got 120 bookmarks.

20 or something.

Last time I checked I had just under 2000 bookmarks, and they're reasonably well organised.

From time to time I wander through a section of them and cull any dead links that I find, but not as often as I should. I also carry an export of them on my USB stick so that I can access them on whatever PC I happen to be using at any given time.

And none of mine are organized. They're all just a long list of bookmarks. :)

And how does that help me find a lost website any more than an ordinary search engine?!

I has 75 bookmarks. They's all nice and organised too.

I only bookmark the occasional obscure page that would be a bother to re-navigate to. (forum posts on hyperactive boards that I want to check up on, images and other things posted in volatile places, and obscure, long-urled things found when googling) The rest I keep memorized. Currently, I have 10 bookmarks. Of which half are due to be purged, but seeing as I seldom check them, they tend to lie around for a bit.

Thanks to vimperator (firefox extension) and its keyboard navigation, typing urls is pretty fast; <ESC>osomething.com<ENTER> Make the "o" a "t" if you want a new tab.

I have quite a few but I'll be damned if I will count them though.

It's more than I'm willing to count, and I don't bookmark pornography.

I have easily over 500 just in my 'Games' main folder... broken down into sub folders for the game .. and then the subject matter to that game/class/progression/quests etc.

I have 10 more of these 'main' folders, some of which have way more links than my gaming folder.. varying from general information to sciences, economic, history, technology, religions, philosophy, mysticism/occult/conspiracy all with sub folders and more folders in the sub folders. In other words .. too many lol.

I will clean them up sometime, but I just don't want to spend the time it will take to do it yet. Last time I did a clean up I got frustrated and just completely wiped out a few of the main subject folders.

Also, isn't there a smart way to bookmark pages without actually, well, bookmarking them? Something? Anything?

I recently found out that there's some sort of "clip" thingy as an add-on to my Firefox browser that lets me have a virtual list of not whole websites, but clippings from them, which can be handy for shorter stuff that usually gets lost.

On topic, I neither know nor care how many bookmarks I have; all I know is that they are withing reasonable range (<200) and extremely well organized, so that I barely ever look in the wrong folder if I only very vaguely know what it was about. (For example, one of those funny "Top ten blahblah" things might get listed in "Fun" -> "humor" -> "verbal" -> "list-ish things").

Yes. Your profile page, btw, is under "fun" -> "NS" -> "profiles". :] *insert maniac, psychopath grin*



EDIT:// My computer tells me it's 180 files in 42 folders. Well, that's okay. Okay-ish. Well, maybe I ought to start looking through them. Hmm, maybe even right now.

Found a little program called AM-Deadlink that will go through bookmarks and check for dead links etc. Pretty neat. Through this I found I have over 4000 bookmarks. I'm going to start cleaning house. lol

Okay, seems NSG is full of either crazy people with more bookmarks than I have or crazy people with so few bookmarks it boggles the mind.

Crazy people. *shakes head*


I have too many bookmarks....that is for sure. A lot relate to debate here at NSG.......I still have some entitled Eutrusca, for crying out loud!!

* makes note to purge the files.I have those, too. Well, not about Eutrusca (actually, wait, I did, a thread of his where he asked for computer help) but all kinds of single post bookmarks or whole threads about stuff. Most died in the purge last night.

Huh? How does that possibly work for you? There are so many pages I've found only after lengthy searches and many minutes of following referal links - no way I'll find those again except by accident (unless I remember their name which usually isn't the case).

Last time I checked I had just under 2000 bookmarks, and they're reasonably well organised.

From time to time I wander through a section of them and cull any dead links that I find, but not as often as I should. I also carry an export of them on my USB stick so that I can access them on whatever PC I happen to be using at any given time.Smart.

And none of mine are organized. They're all just a long list of bookmarks. :)The first 40 or so of mine are alphabetical, those are the most used ones. The rest is just random.

Tbh, I didn't even know you could make folders for your bookmarks until I read it here. ><

I have quite a few but I'll be damned if I will count them though.
Why, I have just the poll option for you.

I recently found out that there's some sort of "clip" thingy as an add-on to my Firefox browser that lets me have a virtual list of not whole websites, but clippings from them, which can be handy for shorter stuff that usually gets lost.
They have that for SeaMonkey, too. Is it any good? Should I get it?

Yes. Your profile page, btw, is under "fun" -> "NS" -> "profiles". :] *insert maniac, psychopath grin*:eek:

You, uh, win this thread...

I refuse to believe this to be true. I absolutely and utterly do, lest my faith in all that is good and decent dies.

Mission achieved for tonight. *logs off, satisfied*

And not nearly enough bookmarks...

On Firefox I have 150 semi-sorted bookmarks, on IE I have about 50 mostly unsorted, and on Opera 45 sorted. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u275/Gravlen/NSG/153535104064shark3.jpg

Congrats! *acts surprised* :p

Congrats! *acts surprised* :p

You should be surprised that I snuck something on topic in there :p

More than enough. I probably should delete some of them. And, comparatively speaking, I don't even have that many; less than 50, for sure.

660. Includes folders and dead links (deleted YouTubes and news articles mostly). About half or more is probably pics and videos. One-third is news articles.

Should probably reorganize them soon.

I had more than 250 the last time I counted them.

With all the web-comics, smiley-resources, gaming- and modeling-related stuff, news, photos, and all the other stuff (and pr0n, not to forget that) it doesn't really amaze me all that much. :D

I rarely bookmark. When I'm interested in something, I bookmark sites on it.

Only 150 and 375? That's nothing.

Only 150 and 375? That's nothing.See? Wanting to hear that is exactly why I made the thread. *nod*
As most of the time, NSG didn't disappoint. *looks at poll*

Holy cow, Farnhamia voted in the poll. :o Long time no see! :fluffle:

I generally don't need to. I'll memorize the URL for the index page and then navigate from there.

Yep. Thats the one.
