I’m also a big fan of using folders _and_ the “Links/Favorites” row of bookmarks in my browser. 🙂 My bookmarks vary between my work computer and my home laptop, as does my homepage: at work it’s my iGoogle page, at home it’s Yahoo Mail (which I can’t access from work). My browser varies, too: at home I’m strictly Firefox, but at work my only option is IE. Here’s what I have for “Links” at work (from left to right):[ul][li]Northwest Federal Credit Union[/li][li]Tower Federal Credit Union[/li][li]LM _(folder of workplace links)_[/li][li]SDMB[/li][li]Blogs _(folder of links to friends’ blogs and LiveJournals)_[/li][li]Daily _(folder of sites that I look at every day)_[/li][li]My Washington Post[/li][li]Netflix[/li][li]CNN[/li][li]GMU _(folder of grad school links)_[/li][li]Nats _(folder of Washington Nationals links)_[/li][li]Web _(folder of online tools)_[/li][\*][Friday Night Live](http://www.herndonrocks.com/)[/ul] ---

This is just mine at work - at home hubby joins in and we have way too many _folders_ to list, much less bookmarks.

[QUOTE=jayjay] My God…if I didn’t have folders, I’d NEVER be able to find anything without scrolling for days. I have to have at least a couple of hundred bookmarks… [/QUOTE] I don’t use folders, but I keep everything alphabetical. Just press the first letter of the entry, and you jump to that section; no need to scroll endlessly. But since I’m alphabetical, that doesn’t reflect my top 10. ---

I just use a limited number of quickbar bookmarks, with a few folders shoved on the quickbar, too. In order: Straight Dope Message Board\* Livejournal\* Penny Arcade\* Weather Channel (set to the current “hour-by-hour” display)\* Gmail TV listings (Yahoo)\*\* TV listings (Zap2It)\*\* Netflix [Traffic.com](http://Traffic.com) [Ultimateguitar.com](http://Ultimateguitar.com) (song tabs/chords) - These four also come up tabbed as my “home page” when I launch the browser. \*\* I keep Yahoo, though vastly inferior, because it can sync with my Tivo if I see something I want to record. Zap2It (until it goes [away in September](http://labs.zap2it.com/ztvws/ztvws_login/1,1059,TMS01-1,00.html) is the preferred site for viewing. ---

The first links are currently the first pages I visit every day. They’re in a folder, so I just click on the folder to open them all (Firefox). Most of them I just take a quick look at and close. The cicada map and the cams and related pages will be removed soon.
