[tech] A question for bookmark service power users?
There's lots of information out there about different hosted bookmarking sites, but there's one thing in particular I can't figure out from the outside, and I'd really rather not try to solve this one by brute force. I'm hoping there's someone really familiar with bookmark apps who can just tell me based on the following desiderata, "Oh, what you want to do is..."
Are any of these sites (Delicious, Pinboard, Diigo, etc) good at coping with multiple accounts?
Here's the rather complicated problem I'm trying to solve:
(1) I want a tool I can use at home to capture bookmarks that will be useful at work, and therefore which I will use from my copy of Firefox at the office. From the point of view of my FF browsing experience in the office, that needs to be an absolutely independent corpus of bookmarks from any other bookmarks I want to store. If someone accesses my computer at work, such as the office de facto sysadmin, and I'm logged in to that account, all they should see are my professional bookmarks.
(2) But I also would like a powerful bookmark manager that I can use for my own bookmarks, so I can access them from all my various browsers and computers at home and on the road. Webpage caching is something I'd like and am potentially willing to pay for; I want this more for my personal corpus than my professional one.
(3) I'll need to have both services installed in the same browsers at home.
(4) Having to stop and figure which account I'm logged into before bookmarking something, to make sure I'm not accidentally booking something NSFW to my work bookmarks is absolutely unacceptable. I am going to need to be logged into both accounts at the same time, and to have different invocations (whether keystrokes or JS bookmarklets) to bookmark a page to each of those service.
I understand this may mean I need to use two different services. But are there any bookmark services which could handle this scenario themselves? (Surely I'm not the only person with the problem?)
And if I do need to use two different services, suggestions for which I should use for each?
PS: (5) Not interested in social aspects, so any service where the social can't be turned off on the account level (e.g. defaulting all new bookmarks to private) isn't for me.
