Alternatives to Y! Bookmarks while they take a long vacation?

Question

It appears that Y! Bookmarks is "undergoing site maintenance from 1-August-2011 to 31-October-2011. During that time, you will not be able to add new bookmarks. You will, however, still be able to view your bookmarks during this time. Sorry for the inconvenience." As a feature that I use every day, can you suggest alternatives? Not wanting to sell my soul to Google or Facebook, preferably something independent. Just don't get me started on the sheer madness of taking Three Months to perform 'maintenance'!

Update:

Yes, I do use the Y! toolbar to access Y!BM. The two go together well and Y!BM via the web page is user-hostile for adding. Toolbar isn't perfect - often the BM list doesn't load in FF. I would drop the toolbar if I had a single button for a bookmark service, like I use Clipmarks and Aviary.

Thanks for pointing out this question from the other thread. I actually know of a list that's a configuration page for a firefox/google chrome extension (AddThis) that's a bunch of different bookmarking sites (and maybe some that aren't bookmarking but something else that uses urls, not sure).. somewhere to start:

http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php

Some limited info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_bookmarking_websites

Incidentally, if you don't mind my asking what do you use to add the bookmarks -- Yahoo toolbar? I want to have something to use in IE that doesn't take up space on the screen. (For FF and Chrome, I use "AddThis"..)

** edit: AddThis does in fact have just a single button.. it's a toolbar, but the toolbar can be turned off leaving just a button you can put anywhere. It's available for FF and Chrome.
