Best Bookmarking Management Tools
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to save, share, organize, search, and manage their bookmarks of websites. The resources themselves aren’t shared, only the bookmarks that reference them. Most of the time these bookmarks are made public, or they can be saved privately, sharing the bookmarks only with specified people, groups, or certain networks. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags.
Bookmarking your favorite websites is a simply process with most browsers, but after some time you end up with a large pile of Bookmarks. Then there’s the possibility you may even lose that data due to some unforeseen incident. The following tools listed below will help you organize your bookmarks and avoid losing them.

Xmarks was formally known as Foxmarks, and it’s an incredible bookmark tool. This bookmarking tool does it all like syncs bookmarks, shares bookmarks, you can even sync profiles, and depending on the which browser you are using will even sync your tabs and password. I use this one to keep my laptops and desktops in sync, no mater which one I use there all the same. Great Tool to have in your arsenal.
Diigo puts a twist on their bookmarking tool; besides just saving the URL of a website, you can also annotate your bookmarks, highlight, add sticky notes, archive, and share both your bookmarks and archived research with whom ever you please. Create a private or public group for your company, class, and teams. Diigo can be accessed through their website, via the Diigo toolbar for Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the Diigo Chrome extension.
Delicious is one of my favorites and it gets well used around here. The social bookmarking service is one of the most popular bookmarking tools and is set-up by default to make your bookmarks public unless you check the “private” box. Delicious is focused on sharing bookmarks, and is a solid choice for those new to social bookmarking and those looking for more than just a place to store their bookmarks. The ability to easily share bookmarks with friends and the general public are great features of Delicious that really set it apart from other social bookmark tools.
Another popular bookmarking service I heavily use. By defualt Google Bookmarks is a private bookmarking tool with a handful of public features added on for those who want them. You can save bookmarks in Google Bookmarks by using the Google Toolbar, it lets you save the title, URL or location of the web page, label (also known as tags or keywords), and a area to describe the page you want to save.
Like most other Bookmarking services Google Bookmarks has a search bar where you may search your bookmarks or the web for the tags that you may be looking for. Bookmarks can be organized into private, semi-private, or public lists for research or sharing with friends or the public. Naturally, You can access your Google Bookmarks from any browser by logging into your Google account.
Friendfeed is another popular a bookmarking tool, although many wouldn’t call it that. What makes this one nice is that it combines your feeds from various websites into one location just like any other bookmarking service. Friendfeed also allows you to insert links directly into your single feed, and each item has its own comment thread.
Friendfeed is simple to use. Sharing is a big plus here, you can allow your friends to comment on the things you share. Read and share however you wish — from your email, your phone or even from Facebook. You can also publish your FriendFeed to your website or blog, or to services such as Twitter.
