Do You Bookmark Sites & Very Often Forget About Them?

I often find myself doing that! I often come across some sites that I think are cool. I would bookmark them and think I would definitely come back. But very often, I forget totally about the sites and almost never go back. What about you? Do you regularly go back to those sites you have bookmarked? Or never?

Yes, I bookmark sites very often and never get around to going back to look at them, so now I put them in folders named after different levels of urgency, and I've even started uploading them to SPURL, but in all probability, I'll just eventually delete most of them anyway. The last 3 times I changed computers, I just dumped the old bookmarks along with all my saved e-mails. Sometimes, when I do go back and look at the stuff I've saved, I wonder why those sites ever seemed interesting. It is amazing how much we change in a few years!

Yes I agree! And sometimes when we go back to those sites, they are not even there and that when I realize how fast the internet world changes.

Yes, I do a lot of bookmarking of sites and later on forget to visit most of them, but bookmarking sites is sometimes prove to be good habit it will work in search of sites of our interest and requirements but make sure the bookmarking or add to favorite should be done category wise so that we can make our search more quickly

Right, otherwise it would be such a mess trying to look for things again and could find it!

I do forget about bookmarked sites. Right now I need to clean and organize my bookmark file but I just haven't taken the time to do so. When I have all my bookmarks organized, it looks better and I will go visit websites if I don't have to go through a bunch of junk that I need to delete.

I think it takes a lot of time to organize the bookmark thing, I find myself very lazy in doing this as I often end up doing something else! Wish you good luck though!

Hello wondericequeen, I usually bookmark site that I intend to come back. But mostly, I forgot about it *smiles* You make me wonder now...do you start this discussion after I told you that I already bookmarked your site? Oh, no! *laughs*

Oh yes! You stimulated my thinking and I started this discussion *laughs*. But I do very often bookmark something and never go back!

I have hundreds of bookmarked sites I have accumulated that way. I only visit a few of them regularly. Occasionaly I will go through one of my major bookmark folders and visit ones I haven't visited in a long time and often a lot of them no longer work. Those are the ones I delete.

Oh I would be disappointing if I find those sites no longer work too!

Hello wondericequeen. Yes I do bookmark sites that I come across which find interesting and cool. I have a bunch of them and I agree with you, some of them I already forgot what its about because I've never gone back to them. I do regularly go back to those sites that are very useful to me. Hmm... I think its time to check and organized my bookmarks and do some cleaning. :-)

I do not bookmark those sites that appeal to me, I dont have that kind of habit but maybe if I try to then it could become a life style.

That happens to me very often. I had a huge list of bookmarks, but I only visited a few of them regularly. Sometimes, I look at my bookmarks and I see a site I haven't visited in a while and I go back to look at it. But sometimes, I can't remember why I bookmarked the site, so I just delete the bookmark.

Yes very true! Very often I don't really remember why I bookmark certain sites and I have to delete them after awhile!

I do that all the time. First I book mark all the sites. then I dont bother to return. one of the reason being I dont organise my bookmarks and it looks very crowded.

*laughs* Me too! I never bother to organize my bookmarks and therefore I guess I try avoid even looking at them!
