I mostly use bookmarks as "speeddials" for frequently visited websites in my browsers bookmark bar. Just the icons, no text so it is fairly clean as well.

I then keep one directory for stuff that is on my short term future "todo" list. For example, when I am deciding on buying a product I might have multiple shop listings there.

So to your statement here

My response is that there is a middle ground ;)
