When do user's want to classify bookmarks?

HCI guru Alan Dix chimes in on the bookmarking process with a recount of some empirical work.  This work looked at the bookmark on first view vs bookmark after you'e explored the site.  To me, this suggests that a new or existing bookmark record might be easily available while browsing the site for re-org operations or keyword/description/title mods.

While Mozilla's bookmark UI is extremely bad, it's only a little worse than the other browsers.  The keyword/description/model attributes are insufficient for keeping things found.

More from Alan Dix in Post-web cognition: evolving knowledge strategies for global information environments (PDF). Related searching turned up this PIM bibliography.  Now, to track down the history visualization work hinted at... update, no go, yet!
