What’s your tool? I’m looking

What’s your tool?

I’m looking for a shareware or freeware app that does one of the most basic of jobs: save and organize links into folders. I’ve tried a whole bunch, and even wrote one for myself, but none have stuck, often because they were over-featured (or, in the case of my home brew, screwed up too often). Here are my requirements:

  • Within the browser (tool bar or whatever) invoke the app and store an URL and a comment in folder
  • Arbitrarily create and nest folders
  • Be able to browse and search the archive
  • Doesn’t lock the info away in a way that makes me totally dependent on the app provider

Simplicity counts above all. If you have found something that has actually become a part of your working set, would you let me know?

And I am trapped in MSIE so don’t bother telling me that the if I get the Quake III mod of Mozilla it’ll do everything I want including letting me frag a John Ashcroft avatar.
