[Note: Keeping track of stuff.
An online bookmark manager is pretty much essential for keeping track of the many useful websites we use and making sure they persist and are accessible from any connected device. I’m heavily invested in Diigo.com (that means for the past 10 years, around 2000 bookmarks) but there are many including bookmarks.google.com for simplicity.
