If you live and die by the Delicious bookmark manager like I do, you'll be happy to know there is a beta update for the Firefox 3 plugin at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/delicious-firefox-extension/ It's under the "files" section. You have to log into Yahoo and join the group to get the beta, which is a pain, but worth it.
If you don't use Delicious and you're drowning in bookmarks, I recommend it highly. Very highly. Tagging is awesome. Tagged clouds are awesome. Being able to sort by frequency is awesome. Having access to the same set of book marks on multiple computers is awesome. Instantly refined results from the search bar is awesome. And if you'd like to keep your 500 and still counting bookmarks private, you can click the little box that says "don't share" whenever you create a bookmark -- which is what I've done on all mine.
Right now I'm creating some links that are tagged with "news" so that I have a quick place to go to all my favorite news sources. I also have a tag called Election2008 for election research. I have another set tagged for work, which is amazing helpful. I even have a "toread" for things I want to go back to, but never will. And the great thing is, you really don't need to be conservative with your tags. Clouds keep the signal to noise ration pretty darn good.
I have 177 photography bookmarks, but if I want to just see the ones specific to "lighting" (let's see, I have 12) it's easy done! If I'm feeling froggy I can then sort those by, last added, site, last visited, most frequently visited. . .
Brilliant, brilliant product when used with the Firefox plug-in. (There is a plugin for IE too, if you're not a Firefox baby.)

Update: I'm going to tag new sources as "daily."
