Assisted bookmark management

[firefox4]

Here are several ideas related to improving the management of bookmarks.

1) Many bookmarks I have have a shelf life that isn't "forever". Over time my bookmarks get messier and messier. When I add a bookmark, it might be nice to have an optional expiration value (expires on _________, or expires in __________ days/weeks/months/years). When the bookmark expires, prompt me for approval to delete it.

2) Many bookmarks are really old and not something I've touched in ages. Perhaps have a bookmark review that notices bookmarks I haven't used in some <configurable> period of time, and ask me if I want to delete these old bookmarks.

3) Periodically try bookmarks in the background to see if the site or page they point to are still valid. If not, try again a couple more times later to be sure. After 3 (configurable?) failures, prompt me if I want to delete the broken bookmark.

Hope this helps!

Perhaps one could link the bookmarks with your history and you could see when the bookmark was last visited.
