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

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!

SEO advise needed: niche bookamarking tool, redirection, etc?

Pear asked:


I have a client whom I have recommended they have a social bookmarking service created as a tool to encourage natural linking.

My idea is to create an integrated social bookmarking service service that would be at the root of their domain name. This way when we have widgets displayed on other people’s sites, my client’s site would earn the link back.

Now considering that the bookmarking section would be at the root of the domain how successful would it be if I recommend getting a domain name and have that redirected to the bookmarking section? Would this tactic cause any SEO damage?
Adam, I agree that the market is saturated for bookmarking sites, but they are ‘general. When people need to find sites for trendy women, they go to HerFabLife.com, developer links? DZone, and the list goes on. For that reason, I need a niche one for my clients.
