(IDG) -- So many sites, so little time. The following bookmark management tools help you mark sites you want to remember and allow you to sort and arrange your bookmarks in logical order, even track the last date and time you've visited a particular site.

1. WebTabs: Use this bookmark manager not only to organize your collection, but also to track sites you browse for updates. You can sort your bookmarks in many different ways and even drag and drop entries between folders. Set up a watch list to update bookmarks you select, or export your bookmarks to a simple HTML file you can browse offline.

2. QuikLink Explorer: Replace your browser's bookmark feature with this Internet information manager that's designed to make it simpler to add, maintain, and organize your bookmarks and other favorite links. Using a familiar Windows Explorer-like interface, you can drag and drop between Favorites folders or even cut, copy, and paste.

3. Bookmark Converter: Convert your favorite sites bidirectionally between Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This utility also converts bookmarks remotely over a network.

4. Compass: Open your bookmarks in a whole new way. Organize them, edit and view them, color-code them, or drag and drop them to other favorites folders. Compass can launch your browser when you select a few bookmarks and drop them on your browser icon. It can even import and export your favorite bookmarks between formats.

5. WebQuick: Use either Navigator or IE with this enhanced bookmark manager. It automatically tracks the last 200 sites you've visited, then gives you a group of predefined links to top Internet sites.

6. Net Buddy: This Web-watching tool automatically notifies you whenever your favorite Web pages have been updated.

7. WebMaster Address Book: Keep all your URLs and e-mail addresses in one alphabetized, indexed, clickable Web page, with active links to your favorite Web sites.

8. WebAgent & Super Bookmarks: WebAgent lets you monitor Web sites that interest you and download changes so that you can surf them on your hard drive instead of over the Internet. SuperBookMarks organizes your favorite Web sites into hierarchical windows.

9. URL Manager: Use this tool to organize and categorize your Internet addresses. You can enter addresses manually; import them from text, HTML, and comma-delimited ASCII files; export them to an HTML file; and print lists. Windows 3.x users should download the 16-bit version.

10. Powermarks: This bookmark and favorites manager works with IE, Navigator, and Opera to help manage your favorite sites. Using a Windows Explorer-like visual display, you can display all your bookmarks in a sorted list and organize them based on name, location, descriptions, and even last visit. You can also export them to a variety of formats, including clipboard cut and paste.
