I'm using zeerka.com for exactly that: research projects that are saved as groups of links. And it's browser agnostic.

I had an opposite (BAD) experience with Amex. I switched my internet provider, called the old one and cancelled the service. They didn't give me any cancellation number, but kept charging me monthly via Amex. They were going out of business (no wonder), so they stopped picking up the phone and had PO Box for the address, but kept charging!
When I asked Amex to cancel or prevent further charges, they refused to do anything without a cancellation number, which I didn't have and couldn't get.
So, your mileage may vary.

No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline by Brian Tracy.
It's so good. I keep rereading it. Does wonders to my motivation and productivity.
Re:Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?

I do and I don't.
I don't use browser bookmarks/favorites, but I have created and use zeerka.com browser homepage that keeps all the links I need, accessible in any browser, taggable, searchable.

Cool idea. You need favicon, so it looks nicer when bookmarked or saved in dashboard sites, like zeerka.com

I know that black on white is not cool anymore, but a little bit more contrast would benefit the site. Grey on grey is hard to read, I want to wipe the screen cause it seem dusty.

Didn't even noticed that change since using zeerka.com.
At work I have to test the same bunch of web sites in a variety of browsers, so using each browser's bookmark manager would be really painful.

Great stuff!
The only feature I need now is 'open links in a new window' option.
Yes, I know that you can do Ctrl+click or click with the mouse wheel to achieve the same, but that is not the same!
