Comment on Ask HN: What is your workflow for saving bookmarks?

Comments

I use chrome to sync bookmarks between machines.

I have a bookmarks bar where the bookmarks have no names. They are represented by their favicons. Then, I have 3 bookmark folders on my bookmarks bar. Currently they are "!" "11" and "12"

"!" is for bookmarks I keep long-term. "11" is for bookmarks created in november. "12" is for bookmarks created in december.

I'm pretty loose about bookmarking. If it's something I might want to bookmark, I just bookmark it to the current month's folder. Then, when the month is up (Jan 1), I will clean out the "11" folder, moving stuff I really want to keep to "!". Few things make it to "!". Then, I delete "11". Afterward, I will do a first wave of deletions on "12", keeping stuff I still find interesting. Then I'll create the "1" folder for January and start again.
