Yes, I do, in my browser bookmarks... but I never come back. I just hoard bookmarks and then sweep and prune whole folders from time to time.

The amount of information I'm interested in is such that the time needed to understand it is >>>> my lifetime.

Unfortunately a tool won't help.

That's a very interesting perspective are you mainly using bookmarks for very important content? Do you ever just want somewhere to put stuff temporarily as you're browsing?

Okay, here's my workflow:

When I'm interested in something (e.g. cryptography) I open a bunch of tabs with usual suspects (google for cryptography, crypto stack exchange, google for crypto books...) and crawl these for even more tabs. Once I get a broad base of subjects to learn from, I slowly read these tabs and perhaps open more from these.

More often than not, I run out of time, so I have to temporarily store these tabs. I use my browser bookmarks for this.

My real bookmarks (real as in "the way bookmarks are intended to be used") are just in the bookmarks toolbar instead of hidden in bookmark folders.

I don't store important stuff in bookmarks. Bookmarks are not important. Important stuff is left as an open tabs to be reviewed ASAP.

That's interesting. It's very much what I assumed we use tabs to store the temporary stuff that we need right now or in the very short term. Bookmarks are not a solution engineered towards this very temporary way of working. However tabs are not the ideal solution either they are just a work around. I often find I want a convenient and temporary place to put this short lived content and it should disappear when I stop using it. What do you think ?
