Ask HN: How many bookmarks do you have?

Re: Ask HN: How many bookmarks do you have?
#12I've got close to 3000 bookmarks.
Almost all of them are saved as full text + PDF in my email (Gmail) inbox under separate labels like 'JS', 'Design', 'SEO' etc.
Gmail's search is pretty decent so it helps me find stuff that I am looking for quickly.

#13Thousands. Unfortunately saving a bookmark has the same effect as entering a black hole for me. Potentially useful info I never resurface just because I tend to re-google instead of remembering it's there. For the same reason I tend to leave tabs open so they stick a little more. But I have too many tabs open so I know that my model utterly broken. Please help.
That makes 2 of us. What have you tried to solve it?

#14417, managing them with my own tool [1]. It's a collection of links with a high probability of (re)visiting, structured in a folder-like pattern. For all articles, online courses, and other actionable items, I use Pocket/Todoist instead. And around ~10 browser bookmarks for things I'm using daily.

#17Zero. If I can’t remember it well enough to google it, I don’t need to see it again.
Re: Ask HN: How many bookmarks do you have?
#18less than 50, categorized in 5 folders as below:
1) google.com 2) office (all internal links like jira, wiki, stash, etc) 3) daily-read (hacker news, slashdot, etc. ) 4) archive (the links which I like and refer as notes when needed) 5) to-read (some links which I found interesting to read but don't have time to read immediately)

Just stop. You said it yourself, just re-google. Live goes on without bookmarks.

I either find a use for them at some point, or I don't. Doesn't bother me if I don't as I'm not trying to process everything I come across, just putting them in a trusted system where I could find them again if I needed to.
I do find it useful if I have a personal research project in an area of interest to start searching with what I already have vs. going to Google. Most of the links I have are vetted either by me or a source I trust so they don't have a bias to who has good on page SEO.
