Folks I've tried 'em all, del.icio.us, Furl, even my .Mac's ability to sync Safari bookmarks online... And what I've wound up with is a mishmash of bookmarks all over creation, some with tags, some without. I don't know if
WebnoteHappy is the ultimate answer, as it doesn't necessarily push the list to the web (more on this in a minute), but it does have a lot to offer. For instance, I switch around to different browsers for different things. I use Firefox to blog, Safari to research, Opera to just surf junk, Camino for blogging sometimes, Flock for research sometimes, etc. WebnoteHappy keeps all of my bookmarks in one central location, and with bookmarklets or a hotkey, I'm able to send a URL to the app. It's kinda like syncronizing your bookmarks within one machine as those bookmarks are then accessible system-wide. The organization tools are great too, working much like iTunes. There's good tagging support, and the ability to talk to NetNewsWire, still my most used RSS reader. Now as for publishing online (for use on other machines), I can either try to move my bookmarks back into Safari (there's a merge feature) and sync with .Mac, or export my bookmarks file (the app provides a couple of ways to do this) and send it upstream...

I have the same problem with bookmarks - 3 computers, multiple browsers on each, etc. I discovered Sitebar (http://sitebar.org/) not too long ago, and now I use it everywhere. It's web-based, and allows public and private bookmarks. No support for tagging, unfortunately, but I'm willing to live with that for a unified bookmark experience. Since it's web based, there's no need to sync/merge, which is something I always forget to do, ruining the whole experience.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention - not only do they host bookmarks on their site (something I'm always a bit wary of), but they have downloads so you can run it on your own website. That's the form I use it in.

My perfect bookmarks solution turned out to be del.icio.us, the Pukka client, and Delibar. I'd like to see delibar and pukka merged into one app, but other than that, it's been working for me.
Oh yeah, and bookit, to sync all of my non-delicious bookmarks between various computers and browsers.
Damn, this stuff is complicated.
