Anyone know of a bookmark organizer for Firefox, for free or dirt cheap?

Scott * asked:


Not looking for a “social bookmarking” site… I have thousands of bookmarks and I want to be able to organize them with a drag & drop interface. I realize Firefox’s built-in bookmark manager will allow this, but I’m looking for something a little more robust. Ideally, something that has a preview screen of the bookmark’s corresponding web page, a built-in link checker (finding bookmarks that link to dead pages), and maybe some kind of “optimizer” that will check my bookmarks on-demand or automatically & alert me to duplicates and newly-deceased current bookmarks. I know there’s an extension that will alert you when you try to add a new bookmark that already exists, but it’s not really what I want.

It can be web-based or stand-alone, but if it’s web-based, I want the ability to keep my bookmarks private.

THANKS!

Social Bookmarking – How to REALLY Market Your Business

John Reimann asked:


Social bookmarking is no longer an underground fad that limited numbers of Internet users participate in. It’s now a large and still growing component of the online experience for many people. It’s a form of web 2.0 technology that allows for more active participation from visitors to a site. Web 2.0 is all about the user and their ability to make content and share content. Social bookmarking is just one piece of that larger pie, but it can be very useful for driving traffic to your website. If you know how to use it effectively

What Social Bookmarking Is:

Just to clarify any lingering questions about what social bookmarking actually is, it’s essentially the process of posting an article, web site, video or other piece of online information to a site to share it with other people. Depending on the site you can place your link in a specific category, you can tag it with a phrase people might search for or be interested in and often users can vote for or rate what they like best.

Voting:

It’s this voting that can make social bookmarking enormously powerful if you can harness a way to reach out to people and make them like your content. The more people that vote for something, the more prominent a position the link gets on the website. That means more people get to see it and more people will visit your site. If you want people to vote for what you post, you have to be posting something that has value to them. That value can be anything, it can be new information or breaking news, it can be funny or entertaining or it can be unique in any number of other ways.

Popular Social Networking Sites

There are many different social bookmarking sites and each is a little bit different from one another but many share common elements as discussed above. Digg is on of the most popular sites, and you can post an article, web page or video and give it a brief description. People then “Digg” the article when they enjoyed it, and the more Diggs you receive the more attention you’ll see in turn. Reddit and Propeller function in essentially the exact same manner. You post your link to a specific category and give it a description. The more people that read it and like it, the more visible it becomes to other visitors.

Delicious is a little bit different because it enables you to enter tags, or search terms and descriptive phrases around the link you submit. It’s also different because you can host an entire link library and import your links from your web browser.

StumbleUpon is unique in that users can install a browser where they can “Stumble” around the internet. Which means that a person can enter categories that they may be interested in and then when they click “Stumble” they visit random sites entered into those categories. You therefore have to enter a specific web page into a category and be sure that it’s something that people would want to see from that category.

Fark is a site that doesn’t automatically accept submissions like all of the above sites do. Rather only a small sampling of links are accepted, and you have to create a funny or entertaining headline to help that process. While you won’t always get your links approved, when you do you’ll see a huge amount of traffic.

There are many other social bookmarking sites, and it’s all about finding the ones that are the best match for the content that you have. You’ll see that smaller, niche focused directories and sites can produce greater results even though they reach less people. Social bookmarking can be a great tool to drive traffic to your website if you know how to provide something that users will enjoy and be interested in.
