Heh.  Instead of trying to organize thousands of bookmarks (i.e., sites 
I thought were useful) in a way that I can find them again, I look them 
up on Google.

For sites I use frequently (weekly) I usually just use the history list. 
   There aren't that many.  For others I find it easier to remember a 
name, a topic, or a phrase from the site and do a Google search.  Having 
other related sites show up too is sometimes a bonus (especially when 
the original has moved).

If I'm researching a particular topic over a few days I might bookmark 
useful sites to refer back to.  If I run across something I really want 
to read but don't have time right now I might bookmark it, but email is 
usually better to remind me.

But after a few weeks, whatever was on a particular page gets stale. 
Either I've understood it enough not to need it anymore, or something 
else has changed to make it obsolete.  No need to clutter my bookmarks.

I suppose I'm not especially typical in my use of the WWW but that's 
what works for me.
