Do you use yours regularly? Have you ever gone through them to clean them out or organize them? I was amazed at how many times I had bookmarked the same site. I do use the cloud for the bookmarks so I'm now synced on all of our devices. Since I've been off my foot I've done this. It makes me wonder why I don't look at them more. I had quite a few that no longer worked. I also had 3-4 that started to affect my computer. They locked my laptop up. I had to quit Safari, delete the bookmark to get my computer going again. The bad sites did give me a warning that my computer was infected and I needed to call a phone number. Well, my computer wasn't affected because after scanning twice to ensure I was ok, everything was fine. So, when I encountered a couple of more I just restarted and deleted.  |

I have used them -- but rarely. But I "know" that if I don't bookmark it, that will be the one thing I'm looking for and can't find.
Same goes for Pinterest. I rarely look back. I just accumulate the pins. Thankfully, they cost nothing and take up no space.

I have them everywhere but my phone. I find that I really go to the same 20 or so sites and that's about it.
It's fun when I go back and look at them and remember something that seems new.

Now I use Pinterest I don't book mark anything online. I use the function on forums where I don't have anything to contribute to the discussion but want to see how the thread turns out!

I bookmark all the time, but rarely go back to them.

I don't remember to use many. I do have them in folders, like vacations, recipes, weight loss ideas, dog stuff, birthday stuff, house stuff, blogs, scrapbooking ideas...
When I go into one of the folders, I will see something and click on it, and the link no longer works, or it's something I got/did, or no longer want. At that time, I will go through a few links and delete them, but I don't do it often.
ETA: I use the recipe, blog and shopping ones the most, although, not often.

I honestly never look at my bookmarks, that's why pinterest works so much better for me for keeping track of things.

I use pinterest too, although not a lot. I forget to check it to see what's out there.
I too usually go to the same sites. Very seldom do I browse just to browse.

The only thing I miss about reading real books versus E-reader is my bookmarks.
....
Then I realized you weren't talking about physical ones.

I really thought actual book mark as in put in your book and was very intrigued on how this could be a post.
Did you have special book marks. Have you collected them. Then I first read "do you go thru and clean your book marks". Which then led me to think how many do you have or how dirty are they.
I didn't have my regular Friday nap today so little off

I use my bookmarks all the time. I have them all organized - Banking, Insurance, News, Scrappy, Blogs, Books, Shopping etc. And one called Stuff. That's the one I put random links in and have to clean it out or look at it periodically.
