Online Bookmarking

So I'm old school. I'm new to the whole social bookmarking scene. Yes, I'm one of those people who still has about 100 or so favorites saved within a dozen folders. After about 2 minutes I can find what I'm looking for. Is that a bad thing? Since I use two or three different computers in a day - my personal computer, my work computer and a computer in the library at school - I could probably benefit from a bookmarking tool that saves my favorites centrally so that I could pull them up at any machine. I decided to give two tools a try...delicious and stumbleupon. I will put them to the test. Stay tuned!

UPDATE: So I'm digging Stumbleupon. It definitely makes it much easier to access my favorites no matter what computer I happen to be working on. It's worth noting that I can "poach" other people's favorites by doing a simple search according to my interest. The same can be true of my favorite sites. That's the whole idea of social networking, right?
