Bookmarks Use Cases

This page is meant for describing particular behaviours you would like to see in a revamped Bookmark system.

Smart Folders and Tagging

I would like to be able to sort my bookmarks into "Smart Folders", and have those folders contain bookmarks based on various criteria, including by way of a user-definable "tagging" system.

For example, let's say I have a few dozen bookmarks. Some tagged with "News", some with "Games", and others with "Ottawa". Some of these bookmarks are Live Bookmarks, and others are just regular old Bookmarks. I would like to have one Smart Folder that contains all of the "News" + "Ottawa" bookmarks, another with "News" + "Games", another with just "Games", a fourth with just "News", and a final with all the Live bookmarks, regardless of tagging or other criteria.

More Smart Folders

Smart Folders are sounding a lot like vfolders/iTunes Smart Playlists/stored queries. Some other cool things that could be done with smart folders: "All bookmarks I've visited in the last week", "Top 10 Bookmarks I've most frequently visited". More complex stuff maybe? "All bookmarks I've visited and spent more than 10 min on the page". (How do you track how long you spend on a page?)
