two kinds of people in terms of using the function of “bookmark this page.” type one: claiming he remembers all daily-read domains (e.g. yahoo.com, gmail.com, flickr.com, friendster.com) so these pages aren’t in bookmarks. rather, “bookmark this page” is used literally. when he is doing some research, and when he comes across some interesting research, he bookmarks it for later review. the links in his bookmarks aren’t checked daily, and may never be checked again. type two: claiming being organized helps better surf the web. she only bookmarks pages that she assumes she will check back tomorrow. she uses “manage bookmarks” every week, deleting, renaming. yahoo.com comes the first in her “mail” folder under the “bookmarks” folder; gmail.com is the second. flickr.com is the first in “tech nerd.” she feels online surfing has been restricted, because other than the bookmarked pages, she doesn’t know anything else.

what about the third, the one who has lots of ambitions, less follow-through, a great list of things not done yet: toolbar bookmarks are divided, more or less, into 17 folders, each of which contains at least 20 bookmarks, making the concept of holding a place almost irrelevant. the categories are as follows (actual pages too many to list here): -latest headlines (RSS feeds), -news (most frequented of which is http://www.indymedia.org), tools & reference (most frequently used are the chinese/english dictionary and the excite japanese/english translator), -mac stuff, -geeky, -nerdy (often confusing even for user in distinguishing geeky and nerdy), -open (as in open sources, resources), -fArt (art with a capital A), -watch, -listen, -move (latest addition is mieszko’s recommendation for http://www.couchsurfing.com), -read, -to to (things yet to come, still to do), -你你you (blogs and personal pages), -ex (things over but not done yet), -北京，-日本.
