Today's discussion topic is bookmarks. Today there are thousands and thousands cites in the web. All of them are useful in one way or another and it is only natural to want to save them all somewhere. Bookmarks seem to be a perfect solution, although your standart browser may lack tool to manage all of your bookmarks. Thats where bookmarking services come in play.

1)Raindrop.io

Raindrop is a very versatile tool. You can access it literally from any device in any form, be it browser, browser extention or mobile app. You can create different folders, create categories and tags to apply them to your bookmarks. Also, you can save not only links, videos and pictures too. I should also mention the interface. I think the main feature here is that it can be customized to suit your needs. The only minuses that I've found are minor: there are no cloud backup and you can only store 60 Mbs of pictures on free account.

2)GetPocket.com

Pocket is very similar to Raindrop in terms of features, but there is more. It is integrated with many popular apps and cites, so saving would be even easier now. And, of course, there is a premium. So, without premium you can't:
-search by the content of the bookmark
-use some of the premium fonts
-do as many notes as you want
As a result I would say that it is a very good service and premium isn't necessary at all.

3)Flipboard
While two previous services focuses on user-friendiness Flipboard offers something a little different. While it still a great tool for managing your Bookmarks, it also provides a social interactivity. And with social features comes one minus: there is no tags and foulders which can be crucial to some of you.
