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.
