Use a good social bookmarking service. I use Diigo, there are a few key things it does for me: - Keeps a copy of a page (if it goes off the web, i've still got it) - Lets you tag and keyword search all the content of my bookmarks (Useful when you have a few thousand built up over years) - Lets you highlight/annotate text on a page

I actually don't really use the "social" aspects of social bookmarking at all.

+ for Diigo. I want most stuff private, it does it. You can create private groups, which I use as folders, say if doing research on an idea I throw all the related bookmarks in a private group. Then I can also share the collection, by just letting someone in the group. They have very robust browser extensions as well.

I find that the old bookmarks tend to disappear. And google seems to find more current things faster. But yeah, for recent stuff and stuff I use all the time at work, bookmarks save lots of time.
