To me, one of the main reasons I switched to dogear from the ‘traditional’ hit “bookmark” or “favourite” (with a U) was that I’d run out of sub-folders really quickly. The whole multiple scrolling, expanding folder scenario became more than my mouse could cope with. It reached the point when I’d have to spend valuable time ‘house-keeping’ my bookmarks/favourites on a regular basis, when I’d inevitably weed out older ones. Of course, at a later date I’d think “now where did I put that?” only to realise I’d deleted it. (Mental note: never throw anything useful away, it’ll come in handy one day…)

Now, I’ve gone past that threshold using dogear/tagging – plus I’m able to share my findings with colleagues. One of them has got the message and says, “every time I ask Steve for something, he just says ‘check my dogears – it’ll be in there’!”.
