Big fan of Pinboard.in
I run this https://github.com/ttscoff/Pinboard-to-OpenMeta nightly to import new Pinboard bookmarks to my local machine as .webloc files so I also have a local, searchable, repository.
I have a Wordpress install with a couple plugins: http://aaron.pk/bookmarks/ More info: http://aaron.pk/bookmarks/about/
I notice it only displays bookmarks for this year. Is there an out-of-the-box way to configure this to paginate or display by year (like post archives)?
Big fan of Pinboard.in
And count in one more fan of Maciej with his sardonic PR. :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very impressive, it would be very easy to pass the site off as something that had an entire team of people behind it, everything is so well polished. Do you have any long term plans for it? That's me! Found it when you posted on reddit ( http://redd.it/yh6w3 ) :D
I agree with this. A very well-polished site, looks incredibly professional. Great work.
Now I defaulted to bookmarks in Chrome, synced and encrypted + Session Buddy extension [0].
I sort heavily using folders:
'by Topic'(abbr. to 'bT') with subfolders for current research projects (eg. Juicer,...);
'People' with subfolders 'Friend A's name',... where I put links received from / sent to folks;
'Track' with 'Year.Month' subfolders;
I rearrange folders so placement of a folder is also a queue - both left-right on the toolbar and up/down in a dropdown (Chrome does not force 'byTime' or 'A-Z' sorting and allows dragging). I also keep folder names as short as possible: S would stand for 'Services' - web apps I use on daily basis, 'R' would be 'Research'. Most frequently used services get bookmark without text - just an icon on the bar.
'I defaulted to bookmarks in Chrome' means its the simplest thing, bare minimum, but it kind of works. Saving pages on mobile? - I get lost here (Opera Mobile on the phone has 40+ open tabs - 'bookmarked', so to speak).
Session Buddy is a beast of its own. You can name sessions there, merge them, edit them, search them and so on.
Tools we use shape us in more subtle ways than we usually realise. I certainly miss 'social' part of using Del.icio.us and I would definitely reach out more if using social bookmarking service instead of bookmarks in a browser. Maybe I should come back.

Edit: For me 'How do you manage your bookmarks?' is a sub-problem of a topic of 'How you take/manage notes' (including lists, todos and all that stuff). I don't even wanna start it.
Evernote. Although a lot more than a bookmarking tool, once you fit it into your workflow, it is a pretty amazing tool for curating all kinds of things, and you can easily share it across all your devices. I couldn't live without it now.
Evernote is great for saving content, retaining its format if you want it and making it searchable, including text in graphics. In addition, you'll still have the content if the webpage or site disappears. It saves the source URL as an added bonus.
I’m tired and not english native so this is poorly written, but it enables me to keep 434 favorites (and growing, I could scale to at least 1500 I’m sure) and not feel overwhelmed by them.

Simple filing from zenhabits’ article: http://zenhabits.net/how-to-create-a-minimalist-computer-exp... I have four folders on my chrome bar, inbox – projects – reading – archives.
--
Inbox is for things that I must take action on, like reading it (but that doesn’t go into Reading because I must read it, unlike things in Reading that are good to read but not mandatory for me).
--
Projects contains links related to the projects I’m currently working on, each project got its own folder.

Reading categories from Mark Hurst’s book Bit Literacy: Inside my reading folder, I have:
Stars for blogs (and the like) from which I usually read every article/news.
Scans for blogs/etc. that I enjoy much but have to scan to then decide what I’m reading (HN for example, the other one I have is Quora).
Targets for blogs from my competitor that I want to keep an eye on.
Tryouts for blogs that are good but not good enough that they are on my routine for reading.
For specific articles, they go at the root of Reading.
This is poorly written and I’m sorry, you should check Bit Literacy anyway as it has a lot of info for not feeling overflowed by bits in general (applies whether you’re a newbie or an advanced user).
--
Archives contains links I’ve already read. With inside a folder structure that mimicks the categories on http://personalmba.com/best-business-books (Business Creation, Value-creation/Testing, Marketing, etc…), with two additional folders for Health and Programming.
If it doesn’t have a category, I just put them into Archives.
--
For searching, I use the search bar from the bookmarks manager (Ctrl + Shift + O), it searches inside the title but that’s often enough, if I know the title doesn’t match what I’m looking after I rename the title when I’m adding the favorite.
