Original Abstract Submitted

A method for efficiently managing bookmarks is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes monitoring activities that occur in association with creating and maintaining bookmarks in an application such as a web browser. The method learns file structures and associated locations within the file structures into which bookmarks are categorized and saved. Based on this learning, the method creates a file structure template that corresponds to what has been learned. The method then detects creation of a bookmark by a user and automatically categorizes and saves the bookmark into a particular file structure that conforms to the file structure template. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
