Nxsy mentioned that he is using Google Bookmarks and GMarks to access it from Firefox and I thought I'd give it a try since I'm really not liking del.icio.us at all anymore.
The problem with del.icio.us isn't just that the name is untypable and unpronouncable it's lack of good integration with Firefox just spoils it completely. Yeah they have an extension of their own and there are some others that compliment it, but really it's a pain. I ended up not using my bookmarks because I couldn't be bothered with the UI.
So I exported my del.icio.us and imported it into Google Bookmarks, re-tagged everything and now using GMarks I think I've used my bookmarks more in the last 2 days than in the previous 3 months combined. I love the home-home quicksearch box,the sidebar is marginally useful - mostly for editing/managing the bookmarks, the drop down list of bookmarks I am not fond of, but the quicksearch and convenient in-browser-ui for managing bookmarks makes this a winner.
