Thanks for the comment :)

I don't have any advice - just wanted to share back that I feel in the same boat and appreciated your various views hi

Sadly, I'm a complete mess with it - tags for blog, blogs and blogging for instance, which makes it very hard to find anything quickly. And in the current system of delicious, it's near impossible to edit them effectively. I agree that tagging is much more malleable, but it needs to have better functionality on delicious (soon, hopefully!) LoreLib I tend to star things in my GReader to come back to, but I never do. The sheer volume of material that I could read and want to read but don't have time to read is somewhat terrifying... (I tend to use my delicious account most for remembering shopping websites, honestly, but I think that that's only because I'm more effective with my 'shopping' tag than anything else!) Hi Michael

I started using FURL for things I want to read later, but don't really keep up with it very well. I have over 600 things in Bloglines marked keep new, which is a teensy bit out of control, as I'm adding to that daily.

As part of a del.icio.us workshop I accidently imported 4500 new bookmarks into my account. (I picked the wrond darn exported bookmark file.) Now I"ve got a few thousand extra bookmakrs in my account but all the better for the resources I might now have. Tagging allows for this in my opinion where traditional folder-organized bookmarks don't . Viva Tagging! It really depends on what you mean by “out of control” or “messy”.
