Do you organize web pages?

I keep too many links to web pages, and I want an easy way to organize them. I like this:

However it has no way to import favorites - you have to add pages one by one (feedback already sent). Anyone know of something similar? Something that can "snapshot" web pages and make them easier to organize?

I used to have a program that cataloged all the web pages I visited and allowed me to search them, but I don't remember what it was called. It also got bloated after a few weeks.

I currently like PowerMarks http://www.kaylon.com/power.html which allows you to add bookmarks, tag them with keywords, and search (read: filter) through the keywords at a later date.

While searching for the PowerMarks homepage, this DMOZ / Google page turned up:

Oh and Zoot, if you could ever figure it out... It lets you add snippets from web pages & other applications and sort/organize them later... Apparently Zoot does a lot more than that, but I never could figure it out.

This software does a good job of saving webpages and indexing them.  Not a links or favorites solution, though.

Good luck.

I ended up picking up NetVisualize Favorites Organizer, which does exactly what I need (thumbnails web pages, verifies links, allows drag and drop organizing)

A little startup called Seruku has a neat IE toolbar that keeps track of every page you have been to and allows you to search them, Google-style.

The founder is a good guy, too.

did you know you can search your history with IE? it's just whatever's in your cache, and not very fast, but it does work well enough to use.

bring up the history pane and say "search".

I've found that IE's History is pretty incomplete - it never has a bunch of the pages that I have been to.  Also, the Seruku product has a persistant database of your history, which isn't wiped when you clear your IE cache, and the search function is better, with date ranges, etc.
