What's in a Bookmark Manager The basic way to store an URL is as a browser bookmark. This gives you a single list containing the URL and its name, but no additional information. You can comfortably store up to 20 URLs this way, though you probably will remember each of them after a while. Another way of storing URLs are hierarchical Bookmark Managers. For instance with the Favorites Menu of System 8.5 you can at least group some URLs together. More sophisticated tools offer more information for an URL like date of last visit, a comment or a rating. 200 - 300 URLs can be stored, before you lose track of them. The third type of Bookmark Manager is the linear list. Those do not necessarily contain more information than the hierarchical list, but sorting URLs by different fields is an added bonus. Around 500 URLs is the maximum for the linear list, before things start getting messy. And that is all? In the last few years we have seen the development from handcoding html to sophisticated WYSIWYG tools like Dreamweaver and GoLive. Bookmark Managers, however, have seen no development at all.
