OT: bookmark storage?

[Bryan O'Neal]

For metadata, personally, I mark every book mark with categories /
keywords that are used for initial search and description so I can
remember what the site was without having to visit it. I also use
number of visits and last visited and rank ( I forget which pluging
gave me that). I do my best to keep my bookmarks organized and remove
redundancy, but I too have ~200 bookmarks.
