    Default How many in YOUR favourites?

    Little bit of a light hearted question, but I'd be interested to see some responses.

    I've just been doing some house-keeping on my Favourites in Internet Explorer, and I found over fifty links to GPWA threads in it! I found myself re-reading some of them, and I've left a good few in there.

    How many for the rest of you?

    This is interesting. In my Favourites' list I have around 100 links, but from GPWA only one, the link to gpwa.org. The reason is that I find it much easier to browse through the threads in GPWA than have them in my favourites. In other words, the entire thread list in GPWA is so well organized that I can use it as my Favourites for GPWA threads.

    There are a lot of links in my favorites' list, more than 500. I don't have a lot of GPWA links (about 10 links), I agree with Nandakishore, that it's more easier to find something on the GPWA forum than in the favorites' list

    Wow, I thought I was bad! I've about 100 favourites marked but find this is too many and have been trying to cut things down a bit. It tends to get so messy, I look at very few of them. Only one to the GPWA forum though.

    You guys are crazy! 500 favorites. it must take you like 5 minutes to find your favorite. lol
    I have about 50-60 of them and it's starting to get hard to scroll down to see one of my pages. I used to have more GPWA threads related to SEO, but I erased them due to thee fact that GPWA forum is easily navigated.

    I cleaned my out recently because I couldn't find anything. What a mess. It's like my closet, if I dont wear it for a certain amount of time, out it goes.

    Since I come to the gpwa almost daily I just go to new posts to see whats happening. I only have the one link to gpwa.org. I agree with the above, the gpwa is very user friendly.

    I have a search box in my bookmarks and I always find what I need. I use Firefox and bookmark extension which is very useful. And moreover my bookmarks are well organized, if I need SEO links I'll always find them in my SEO folder, forum links can be found in my forum folder and etc, so I don't see a problem here. 500 bookmarks are only about my work, and I don't count bookmarks concerning my real life.

    I agree, the FF bookmark feature is really very useful and easy to navigate. I do browse there every now and then for couple of minutes and am always astonished to find what interesting information I had bookmarked ages ago and forgotten completely.

    As I work on a number of different PC's I use google bookmarks (part of the google toolbar)and found it an absolute life-saver its brilliant.

    I only one link for gpwa.org but I do have easily well over 3,000 sites bookmarked.

    I had hundreds of links of pages I ran across and wanted to revisit, but never got the chance UNTIL I discovered MS One Note.

    This application is awesome. It lets me store the page content I want and places a URL to the page on my page.

    You can sort/organize as you want so check it out.

    You can store audio/video and clips of pages on the net. Just highlight text and paste in. It also converts graphics to text. It's my top organization 'secret'.

    The best feature for me is that I can export/copy email from outlook for those that I'm working on a project with or need to save information that I must find later.

    Just the kind of random question i love... I find GPWA great but to be honest I don't really bookmark many pages as a rule. I do collate the info that i need and store though so i guess its kind of the same thing...

    Well I only got 35 at the moment (lost them all recently when windows xp decided to crash on me..)
    But I'm looking in to foxmarks.com. It looks promising if you use more then one computer and would like to synchronize bookmarks between them, or just for keeping an up to date backup

    Too many to count, I have only one to GPWA, but I usually just type GPWA into address bar. I too have organized my favorites, I even have my aff. bookmarks seperated by the network the site is on, I found it an easy way to keep them organized. If I get a new program it goes in the regular affiliate folder till the review is done, that way I don't miss work to be done.
