I've since taken to having a split system. I keep a very few bookmarks kept in my browser, specifically for quick access. But then everything else I bookmark that goes under the heading "<em>oh, that might be interesting or useful one day</em>" goes into <a href="http://delicious.com/davidgilson" rel="nofollow">my Delicious account</a> which I will refer to and search within when I want to look for something I know I may have bookmarked sometime in the past.

I haven't found a bookmarking service yet though that I feel's good enough to replace the bookmarks in my own Internet browser! Stumbleupon is more for stumbling across sites and coming across new discoveries, rather than actually being good at organising and accessing my bookmarks. Delicious is one step closer to being a good replacement but having to use tags, instead of folders or categories, just isn't as intuitive when it comes to wanting to find a bookmark quickly, or in an organised manner.
