Do you have the habit of just bookmarking sites but not get back on them?

Every time I see an interesting site that I have come across from users here in mylot or from my PTC ads and surfing sites, I just bookmark them. I just do some rough reading and bookmark them instead to get back on them some other days. But I have never gotten back on them.
I have tried to have a schedule on when to check on my bookmarks and that is every weekends. But every time it’s weekends I never do it. I just get so lazy
checking on them and I don’t wanna be disturbed from my online works. I always say every time I’m about to review my bookmarks, “I’d rather spend the hours earning than getting back on the bookmarks”.
A moment while ago I just bookmarked again 4 sites and woah
… I didn’t notice the list have gotten really, really long now. I think I really need to review them cause’ for sure there are sites that ought to be deleted. And maybe I will organize my bookmarks cause’ they’re a mess.
What about you? Have you cleared your bookmarks lately? How do you organize your bookmarks?

.. a folder to be organized. That's a good tip. I might try that.
Just curious, how many folders do you have right now?

I bookmark a site only after some time when I realize it will be useful for me in the future.I don't make hasty decisions to bookmark each and every site that interests me for a short time.And I have a practice to unmark the sites which I don't visit,every month.So,I don't have problems like you.Cheers!

Hi srganesh
! I think the sites that I have bookmarked can be useful in the future. They are mainly about online earnings that's why they caught my interest. But the problem is I have never gotten back on them to check which one is legit or not. Maybe I should stop bookmarking well, at least until I have checked on my current bookmarks.
Happy posting!

Yeah, I just cleared it. I've realized I've bookmarked so much, and when I reviewed them, I couldn't even remember why I bookmarked them. I got lazy and just deleted them all!! I am back to bookmarking again though heheheh!

So you have cleared your bookmarks but then you are at it again hehe
.. Me, after clearing some, say 10 sites, I think I have bookmarked again 5 in just one day and surely for the next days I will bookmark double in number.
Hehe bookmark has become a habit to everyone

I usually bookmarking my favourite sites and some unfinished or interesting sites. But sometimes i forgot to visiting it back due to busy. But when i rechecking my bookmark on my browser, usually i revisit to that site. This is my old habit to saving a web link if i think that web could be useful on one day. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I do that pretty often. With me, it's usually articles that I want to read but can't do it because I need to sleep/go to class/eat/whatever, so I bookmark them, then I forget about them until I suddenly see a bookmark I don't recognise while trying to go to another site in my list. I also do that to downloads sometimes. Rapidshare limits the amount free users can download, so when I want to download from several links, I often bookmark them then forget to go back to them.
It hasn't been long since the last time I cleared those forgotten bookmarks. I cleared some earlier today, actually. As for organisation, I don't really bother doing that. So... they're organised chronologically by the date I bookmarked them, since new ones are added to the bottom of the list. xP

Yes newly bookmarked sites are always placed at the bottom. But I still do need to organize them so all similar site that I will be needing will be under one folder. I think it's much easier to determine what site I should be visiting.
Hey you mentioned rapidshare. I've seen it. That's an earning site right?

Are you watching me lol, I just book marked a page right before I saw your topic too funny, I have so many bookmarks its unreal, I too will clean it up one of these days, I must admit most of my bookmarks are things I do visit, but there are a few things I should get rid of, I type keep in the bookmarks that really are important to me, so it won't be hard for me when it is time to start deleting lol I try to keep the sites I visit the most at the top and everything else under so I don't have to go through them all when I am ready to visit a certain site.

Hahaha so you're an avid bookmarker like me! Well, I have done some cleaning today. I had the time to look into some, yes, still some that means there are a lot left to check. I took the opportunity since I can't log in on mylot earlier. But now that I'm logged in I'll do the cleaning maybe next week again.
Keep bookmarking oh I mean posting!

Yes, I admit that I do and also that I seldom get back to them. Here in mylot, religion is one of my most favourite interest groups and while responding to various discussions in this section, I used to come a lot of links giving further information on various religions, religious beliefs, people who follow, their cultures, myths and so on…absolutely fascinating I should say. Now I seldom had time to go thru all those sites just then and there (too busy mylotitng) so I used to bookmark them. Whenever I had some time, I used to go and take a look but gradually I found that the list of bookmarked sites was increasing and I could not keep pace. A lot of sites remained unchecked and only added to the clutter on my browser page. So nowadays, I usually don’t bookmark sites anymore.

I'm guilty with this one too your honor. I categorize most of them though. I put them in folders, even create folders in folder if I have too. And also I tag some of them for quick access, just like here in myLot. When I need say site for "cars" I type car in my address bar and all my bookmark with car will be suggested.
But there are some bookmark too that I just have to visit on my next browsing session like when I need to restart my browser when it is somewhat already sluggish. I just leave them on my recent bookmark folders.

. I never knew we could tag them. Thanks for giving me the idea!

I also have that habit of bookmarking sites. But I have to admit that I end up not visiting them later on. From time to time, I do clean up the sites that I have bookmark. I usually organize them by placing them on folders and categorized them based on different categories.

You bookmark what you think is important. Me, I don't really know if what I'm bookmarking is important. I just bookmark whenever I see earnings hehe. I didn't even now that I have bookmarked the same site over and over again. I checked on some now and I that's how I found out.

I have a terrible habit of bookmarking sites I never go back to. I could probably use a good cleaning up now. Thanks for reminding me! I usually don't really organize them either. I'm thinkig I'll be back soon enough to look at them.

Yes, I did bookmark couple websites that I have not visited since. I have deleted a bunch of them couple weeks ago and found out I always bookmark website but not come back and check out the website again.
Sometimes I feel very interested of the websitesa and bookmark them but forget to go back, sometimes especially the online pisode that I always watch, like I don't want to forget where I stop so I book mard the episode, so when I move on to the next one, I forget to delete the old one.
