Bookmarking Websites

I'm considering migrating my bookmarks out of Firefox and onto some sort of a web service. What I'm looking for, basically, is something that makes it really easy to keep track of interesting articles I read online. I've tried Delicious before, but that's about it. How do y'all store your bookmarks?

instapaper is the one i use

instapaper

Read It Later - has a nice Firefox plugin.

pinboard or delicious + instapaper for sure

bookmark tracking, plus the ability to read things later if you want

I already use Instapaper, which I'd strongly recommend to anyone who comes across interesting articles that they either want to "read later" or want to read on their iPhone when they're not at their computer. What I'm looking for now is a way to archive links to articles that I read and might want to reference later. I've used Delicious before, although I'm hesitant to sign up for a Yahoo account to use it. I've heard good things about Pinboard, but I'm hesitant to sign up for that too since it doesn't seem established enough that I can be confident it'll still be around in five years.

I'm surprised there aren't more tools for this. All I want to do is access and manage a list of bookmarks from any browser ... no social media features necessary. Pinboard looks sort of promising for this.

Chrome has a bookmark sync feature that might work, but one of the computers I use regularly is an old PPC Mac that can't run Chrome.

Delicious + its firefox extension works pretty well for me, but I haven't tried the many alternatives mentioned here.

Does xmarks not do the trick? Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

how does delicious differ from instapaper? whenever ive stumbled across it it gives me the fear with its messy seemingly-complicated looks

xmarks syncs yr bookmarks across multiple browsers/computers
i use read it later for what kshighway wants, and i believe it has an iphone app. isn't delicous more for 'social' bookmarking?

With Instapaper, you install a "Read Later" bookmarklet into your browser, and whenever you come across something you think you might want to "read later" you click the bookmarklet, and it goes into a queue that you can then access from the Instapaper website or the Instapaper Free/Pro iPhone app. Delicious is a social bookmarking service which, as I understand it, is more of a reference tool; it gives you a simple way to have and to share an archive of pointers to sites you've already visited.

tremendoid, afaik, Read It Later is just an Instapaper competitor?

yeah sounds like it, havent used instapaper

Xmarks looks like it might work well for my purposes, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!

how does delicious differ from instapaper?

delicious is just saved links w/tags and the ability to see what other people have saved. Instapaper, to me, isn't about carrying around a long history and is more about the "read later" functionality. ymmv

trying pinboard

Could you let us know what you think of it after you use it a bit, dan?

i liked delicious and now using pinboard because i could go to it from any computer without bothering with logins. if you have iphone i guess that's not an issue though

I like some aspects of pinboard, I like using the bookmark bar button to add things and the email address to email links. But I'm often at computers at freelance jobs and don't want to bother adding the browser button and don't understand why there's no way to add a bookmark while logged into the site. I'm not using it for social sharing or anything, everything is private.

i didn't know you couldn't add from the site itself but you can email links to your pinboard somehow

yeah, the email thing is fine, I added the address as a gmail contact so that's easy. Still sometimes I'd rather just add it to the site page.

I love xmarks...if your computer dies, you still have all the bookmarks in your entire world.

So far so good with xmarks ... I think it might enable the major pruning and reorganization of bookmarks I've been putting off for way too long.

pinboard seems to be getting better, they now have an add URL among other things. Maybe I just didn't notice it before!
