I use bookmark folders in the toolbar sort of like taskbar menus in windows.. the entries get their favicos displayed next to them: http://i.imgur.com/DRcs7I1.gifv
..in Firefox rss bookmarks become submenus with the rss entries as the items. It's great for web comics

This seems like such an obvious way to use bookmarks in the toolbar, and it keeps me from using Safari more often.

I've mostly switched to Safari for personal stuff, and there's a New Tab screen with all your favorites on it... works similarly, but not as pretty. Still gotta stick with Chrome for work.

I use the "open all bookmarks in this folder" as well. I have a folder which contains the top sites I visit everyday and I start my morning routine by opening them into the tab tree.

Try zeerka.com if you like favicons.

sometimes I make use of the features "open all bookmarks in this folder".
other times I use the bookmark to (as somebody else mentioned already) weight consideration of sites I'm interested in getting results from.
aside: at hackreactor, I worked with some folks on the beginnings of a chrome extension to grab your bookmarks, analyze the content of each site, and suggest new bookmarks when you open a new tab. the suggestions part was working already by the time I came around. then I got a job and that pretty much fell out of priority... heh.
