How do you bookmark?

Del.icio.us, that early icon of the Web 2.0 movement that has to mentioned by page 11 in any book that wants "2.0 Cred", has brought out version 2.0 - to considerable interest again, it would seem. Must admit though, my usage behaviour resembles the remarks in Matthew Ingram's piece quoting one Adam Ostrow who:

....never bookmarks things any more — he either remembers something, or searches for it, or asks someone else if he can’t remember the details. It has occurred to me over the past year or so that while I religiously bookmark things, often dozens of them in a single day, I rarely go back and look them up. If I’m writing about something and I remember some details, I type them into Google and eventually track the page down.

I suspect that is true of many people who tried the service - the "hit head" of stuff you bookmark you'll put on your browser, the key papers you find you'll store yourself somewhere personal, and the rest you'll re-search for when you need it. (I also find that stuff I marked 4 years ago is pretty irrelevant now, there is a half life to web pages. Also, I got lazy - I just look at the bookmarks of other people who I know are assiduous markers )

This does not mean that there is not a need to better handle the "long tail" of stuff you want to bookmark - looking at the comments on the various discussions over on Techmeme though, it seems that Delicious 1.0 didn't hit that sweet spot over time for many. Will 2.0? Let's see - We'll give it a whirl, but I suspect there is something wrong with the basic workflow of this sort of marking, rather than the operation or UI.

So how do y'all mark things?

Update - read this comment on Matthew's post by Marshall Kirkpatrick, suggests an interesting use case which he wrote about here on RWW:

I find that bookmarking things for posterity is rarely incentive enough for me to click that button. What has helped me get back into it for the last 6 months or so, though, has been tagging things into feeds for particular purposes. Items I tag "toshare" get displayed in the sidebar of my blog and delivered through a feed that Feedburner says has a bunch of subscribers, items I tag "toread" show up in Netvibes Mobile for me to read when I'm on the bus.
