Yahoo Bookmarks because it has both folder and tags, just in case I forgot what I named my tag...
You can use j.otdown.com for low-security text notes that you save as a bookmark to any of these services. Works best with bookmark apps that allow snapshots so you can see the text and search right in your bookmark interface.
I also want to mention that ReaditLater allows local caching of the entire web page (selectively or all bookmarks.) This allows to have Windows Indexing or another search engine index it for full text searching.
Diigo is not free anymore. This sucks! They are charging for full text searches, page caching (snapshots), and screen captures. Your can still highlight but it's limited to 1000/year and, again, the text won't be searchable. Now they are no better than Delicious.
I have tried Delicious, Xmarks, Diigo, Google Bookmark Sync and I can not recommend any of them without warnings.
I was using Weave, but I recently switched to Xmarks. I think it's better because of it's multi-browser support. It also seems less intrusive, as it's never asking me to sign in and what not. It's just in the background doing it's thing.
I have no clear vote. For saving, I mostly use Google Bookmarks but it's not a true 'management' solution for me - more like a url dump. Searching saved bookmarks is positively lame (in fact it's more accurate to search via Google Notebook!), and why is there no connection with Chrome? The good things are that new…
I use delicious, mainly as it allows me to have a 'dynamic' bookmark toolbar — synchronised across computers —, defined based on a certain tag. Searching for a bookmark is also easy via the sidebar search feature.
I've replaced delicious with pinboard.in a while ago, and never looked back since: simple, flexible and quick, without all the cruft delicious seems to have accumulated over time.
I love del.icio.us and am sad that it (like flickr) seems to be neglected ever since it was bought by Yahoo.
Hmmm. I've used Delicious for a long time. Have installed add-ons for it in IE, FF, and, finally, Chrome. It syncs my bookmarks across all those browsers, is exquisitely searchable in the add-on or at the site (actually the IE and FF add-on searching is superior to the site, Chrome still needs a little work) and…
I have been using XMarks since before it was called XMarks lol
I initially started using Weave but after about two to three days, I realized that Xmarks was just more suited for my purposes and worked far more flawlessly on my setup. I'm very satisfied with their service and highly recommend them to everyone I discuss bookmarking management to. . .
I voted Google Bookmarks.
SyncPlaces for Firefox is a great XMarks substitute and allows syncing to a file - which happens to be in the Dropbox folder, allowing cloud-based sync with total control, no web server required.
I've been using Xmarks for years and I love it. It's great because I access my bookmarks regularly on two computers and I use both Firefox and Chrome on each. I do dislike the extra stuff they added awhile ago, but it's easy enough to disable and just use the bookmark syncing. I've tried some of the others on this,…
Delicious isn't perfect, but like I said when I voted, I find something very liberating about not having to manage a bookmark hierarchy. The tag system just makes sense to me.
Xmarks just needs to throw in a really good dead bookmark checker + duplicate bookmark cleaner to make it a truly outstanding add-on. Right now, I have almost 2-3 sets of the same bookmarks on the Xmarks server. Their merging algorithm is a little messed up, I suppose. But I haven't lost a bookmark as yet :P
Google Bookmarks works seamlessly with Google Chrome. Small little tidbit that could have been mentioned in the article.
