how do you, or how would you organise design related links?
I have about 620 hand picked design sites.. in a folder in my IE favorites.
I'm just having thoughts about organizing my personal design bookmarks..and eventually my ideas.
I'd like to know how everyone else would go about it..

I like to leave them in a really long random list that scrolls for minutes - then when searching I get to see lots of old stuff I wouldn't have looked at to help me forget what I was actually looking for.

Alphabetical is the new order.

mine are seperated into:
design
kickin
badass
superbad

I have a folder on my desktop which I drag urls into and I have it organized as:
• design consultancies
• illustration
• photography
• fashion
• other

alphabetical is good, but it means you have to commit to memory, what each site's name was.
Rasko, I use Url base, to search through mine.. I used to do what you were saying.
- jox0
what's Url base?
- oculasm0
oh sorry I forgot the link to url base..
http://www.terriadev.com/urlbase…
I use URL base 4.phubar.. I do that too, but I organise them in months strangely.
I have:
May Scraps,
April Scraps
March Scrapson my desktop..
most of these urls will also be in my favorites folder too.

Persian was originally Iranian and it contained a list of iranian designers,

don't know.
but i do know this. mine had better be in there or i'm going to beat your ass.
; )
- oculasm0
heh, Im sure its in there.. in the design category..
did I mention I have a tiny percentage of duplicates too..
I do that when I'm sure I want to increase the chances of finding something..
- oculasm0
right heres another thought..
I wish I'd done this for more links.
I've added a colour name to some design example links.
that way when I want to see some ideas for colour combinations I search for that colour amongst my favorites with url base or something.

oculasm, you really know how to confuse things
- oculasm0
sure do.. but not intentionally..
I just have a categorization problem.
