Anybody find any good bookmark managers out there? I'm thinking of using Movable Type as my bookmark manager. One could create a new blog where the entries consist of >$Title of entry$< - >a href=">$body of entry$<"< <$body of entry$> >/a< - >extendd entry for description. The categories of MT would function as "folders". The main page of this new blog site would just be a categorical listing of all the bookmarks, linked. This has the added feature of enabling a "link of the day" feature for anyone who'd want it (use the MTDate format="" to match the file name of an daily archive of the bookmark page, which should just be a list of links). And another benefit: you can access it anywhere from the web. And for the web-technology saavy: I'm sure you could turn it into a sidebar with a click of the button, enabling browing without having to open up new windows.
Problem is, of course, that it's a lot of work I'm not sure I want to go through. Everytime you want to book mark a new link, you've got to make an entry for it and format it right (takes a bit more time than dragging and dropping within IE or Firefox). And of course the coding to make it all work. Is there a way to display entries (dynamically) in MT categorically? I know that >MTEntries category=">$MTCategoryLabel<"< doesn't work. Can't embed one MT tag within another. So what do I do there? Use javascript as storage? perhaps...

There are plugins that let you do nested tags. Like this one:

Thanks for the link! I knew there had to be a nested plug in but didn't find it.... I did find a solution with a category loop but a nested tag plug in is what I was looking for.
