Book 'em, Dano
I'm still trying to find a good bookmarks solution.
I was leaning toward URL Manager Pro, which runs in the background and supports the Shared Menu protocol, so it adds a menu to each of your browsers, where you can add bookmarks available from any other program that supports Shared Menus.
Unfortunately, Safari, which has become my second most-used browser (to Camino), doesn't support the protocol. URL Manager also suffers from an OS 9, Carbon-heavy interface.
While looking for an alternative, I stumbled on Bookit, from Everyday Software.
Bookit takes an iSync approach to managing bookmarks. It can read and write bookmarks for any of the browsers I currently run, including Safari, Camino, iCab, IE, Mozilla, Netscape, OmniWeb, and Opera.
When you fire it up, Bookit finds your browsers' bookmark files, and lets you choose which files you want to synch. The next step is a comparison window, where you can choose which missing bookmarks you want to move, then write the new file.
Bookit also includes two bonus goodies: a docklet that lets you access your bookmarks directly from the dock in your default browser, and a system menu that does likewise. They also allow you to open your browser directly to a URL you type in.
Perhaps best of all, Bookit is only $12.
