One of the tools suggested is Bookmark Buddy. I am not intending to download it but i have read some reviews of it, which have been good.I have pasted a screen shot of it here.
Seems straightforward enough. Be warned though, you will have to pay for it after 30 days.
My first thought about this is: what is wrong with the trusty old bookmark manager within one's web browser? I can't comment reliably about internet explorer, but Firefox's web browser allows you to organize bookmarks into folders and tags and it also has live bookmarks which allows saving of RSS feeds as a bookmark. Very handy when you have to keep up with a lot of blogs.
Because i use Ubuntu as my operating system, i am unable to download any of the programs mentioned, but this is hardly an obstacle to managing my bookmarks as there are plenty of online bookmarking sites available. They are so common these days the question immediately comes to mind as to why would anybody want to download one onto their desktop? Personally i use Delicious and Diigo to manage my bookmarks. These are social bookmarking sites that allow you to set up an account and then store your bookmarks online. you can organise your items with tags and lists. Diigo lets you add annotations in the form of sticky notes which is extremely helpful. The other program that i use to organise my information is Zotero which is a firefox add on. This site takes snapshots of web pages and then allows you to make notes on them. You can classify your information similar to Diigo and Delicious, but what really makes it stand out is the capturing of bibliographic information automatically. You are able to display it in many different formats. I discovered this site a few months ago as an alternative to Endnote and can't sing it's praises high enough.
