Better Bookmarking?

Like Garland, I use mainly the Chrome bookmark bar and Evernote.

The main advantage of the Chrome bar is that it’s extremely quick and easy to use—and always visible. (And of course it syncs very smoothly across several computers and devices.)

In Evernote, on the other hand, I can annotate and tag the bookmarks to my heart’s content.

So my rule of thumb is this: if I think I will use a bookmark fairly often, I record it in Chrome; if I want to keep it for just occasional reference purposes, I put it in Evernote.

I confess that I also have a ton of old bookmarks in the Chrome “Other bookmarks” folder, but that now strikes me as an uneasy compromise. I have to dig around quite a bit to find something there. One of these days, when I find time, I will try to shift the “Other bookmarks” into Evernote, where they really belong.
