http://historio.us -- indexes the contents of pages allowing for search based on page contents, not just domain or title. I have a small selection of bookmarks I use repeatedly in the chrome bar thingy and then use historious (with the chrome extension) for everything else. Saved me a lot of trouble many times when I could only remember a fragment of the page contents I was looking for.

Hijacking: I'm looking exclusively for a service that allows for images to be applied to the link the way Snip.it was. I've found [related] visuals (even if it's just a cropped screengrab of the site/blog post) are much quicker to remember/navigate through later than text. Been trying to use Kippt, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Same problem, I use chrome bookmarks mainly (due to the sync with my mobile and every other chrome I have) and Pocket. And sometimes also Kippt.

I wonder if there is a service that syncs your Chrome bookmarks (one way, read only) to some nice web UI that allows better searching (e.g. search by folder name, not just bookmark title)

Kippt is really good for any type of bookmark. I made my site http://pineapple.io specifically for all my development bookmarks. Since then it's grown to be quite a nice awesome database. I moderate it really heavily for quality, so if you skim all 100 pages I guarantee you will find tons of hidden gems.

Thank you for Pineapple, it's such a wonderful resource, plus the design is really great. Did you design and develop it yourself?

I keep a strict minimum. I use folders as much as I can. I sync them through chrome & firefox (I have different bookmark for each browser). I use multi row toolbar. ( http://i.imgur.com/1UQ915E.png )

Also, so as not to flood my toolbar I "star" some of them in Firefox. It doesn't appear in the list but I can still give them some "tags". For example I've tagged all the hipmunk, matrix, skyscanner, easyjet, adioso... to the words "plane, tickets, travel" etc...
