What is the best way to keep all of my many bookmarks organized?

My SBC Yahoo browser does not reliably save webpages into my "bookmarks" section. I have signed up at Backflip but would like to know if there are any other alternatives.

I read something about either Google or Yahoo doing "personalized searches" where your search results are automatically saved...also something about one of those companies saving screenshots of the webpage you've viewed, so that you can always access the information in it, even if the webpage's content is changed or deleted later. What can you tell me about that? Thanks.

Best free site for bookmark saving is www.linkagogo.com Save in many different file formats/browsers even AOL PFC files (Only site I think?), and they are accessible from any computer its free up to 2000 bookmarks then the upgrade is cheap
There is a free to use startup page with some free links to get you started,and there is a forum where you can ask the admin about issues you might have Wink
Once you have learnt how to use the download and upload routines have to download a small file (after registering) transfers can be done in seconds Wink

As for Google Check http://desktop.google.com/ out (I use it as a quick file search) There are many add-ons to look for even more items but the basic setup is OK Wink
This link will improve the searching even more
http://www.google.com/searchhistory works well with the other link
Note you will have to register with Google https://www.google.com/accounts/ for this.
Once signed up this acts as a key to other places such as Gmail and GoogleEarth Google Groups
Do this first then download the programs, and avoid any prompts Wink

Thanks for the info, bedstor.
I'll compare Backflip to LinkAGoGo and Google Search to Yahoo Search and decide what to do. I already have a Google account since you gave me an invite to Gmail. Wink The search engine I was thinking of that stores saved webpages' content (not just a URL bookmark) is Yahoo's My Web. I think that may be my ideal solution! Smile
