I would suggest that, if you're sufficiently html-knowledgeable, or if you have a fairly good web-page editor, you create a home-page full of links, papers, blogs, rss feeds, whatever, that you want to keep up with.
I have such a home page and it allows me to have some kind of base back to which I can ground myself when I stray too far into the abyss/buffet of internet knowledge. In particular I find that the average screen size is good for such a knowledge cache: if you need a space bigger than this then you're indulging in a buffet too big for your palette.
Isn't that what your Favorites/Bookmarks list is for? Why bother creating a separate page, unless it's a multi-person effort? And in that case wouldn't a wiki work better?
I think the problem with bookmarks is that you are able to create endless lists of them, and it becomes undesirable to revisit or keep up with them all. However the idea of a home page condenses the amount of links to keep up with to a manageable amount, and is also suitable for an individual user.
Likely to have it wherever you go or in case of a computer meltdown. I know the biggest loss for me when my computer died not long ago was my bookmarks and tool bars.
I use del.icio.us partly for this reason, and was glad of it when my last computer died.
