Long version: It's a good product with a nice interface and easy to use, but for me there are two shortcomings -- Organizing imported bookmarks, and no grouping or hierarchy capabilities.
I have over 1000 bookmarks organized within Safari in a fairly clean folder hierarchy. Importing them into Little BB just dumps them all into a box that I'll have to go through manually, moving them into an appropriate box. I know I can't expect "magic" from the product, but there is going to be a lot of effort to sort it all out without the hierarchy of the original import being maintained some way. Which leads to my second gripe.
Being unable to create a hierarchy or put boxes into groups is also a limitation. Little BB gives you two groups, "Boxes" and "Smart Boxes". Currently, my bookmarks are in a multi-level folder hierarchy such as "databases/SQL Server" and "Languages/C++" Having to "flatten" my structure into a bunch of boxes is going to require a LOT of boxes, which I think will actually makes this less organized.
I bought the product before discovering the above (my own fault), so I'm a little miffed that I think I'll just end up uninstalling it.
LBB uses tags (keywords) instead a folder hierarchy to classify your bookmarks.
The conceptual difference between tags and folders is that you do not place a bookmark in a folder, but rather you associate a tag with a bookmark. This allows you to break your bookmarks into groups but unlike placing them in folders, each bookmark can belong to more than one group and you can add different grouping criteria without breaking existing groups. Once you get used to it, tagging will be easier than folders and a much more flexible way to organize bookmarks.
To assist you, LBB offers automatic tag completion, you can sort and search by tags, create smart boxes to view bookmarks by tags, assign a tag to multiple bookmarks at once, rename or remove certain tags, display tags as bookmarks subtitle, and imported bookmarks are automatically tagged accordingly to their enclosed folder (in this case: SQL Server, C++).
If you have any questions or suggestions for further improvements, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Are the tags Open Meta, and is there a way to manage the tags themselves? I know that one can rename or "remove from all bookmarks", but is there a dedicated function to do this for all tags in one place?

1. synchronizing with Instapaper BACK/FORWARD (not only send, but also receive bookmarks from Instapaper)
2. Keyboard shortcut to save bookmarks (not only open the app window) eg: + Tabbing shortcut key --> Window popup --> Paste my link and tagging it --> SAVE!
3. Multi-tag searching ( by 2-3 tags)
4. Better quality menu bar icon ;) at the moment current icon looks bad, very bad.
if you're using Safari, you can use the Bookmarklets as described below to either just add a bookmark to your Inbox or to Modify and Add (selecting Box, adding Tags or note) with a keyboard shortcut (CMD-1, for example).

Thanks for the info, but I using Opera browser ... and it hurts sometimes.
Then, simply press CMD-(position of bookmarklet in bookmarks bar, starting left).
Looking to simplify, not complicate.
Then, each time you want to bookmark a page, you press e.g. command-1.
Why is this complicated?

Little Bookmark Box (LBB for short) has changed all that for me. I placed the LBB Bookmarklet into my bookmark bar in the 1st position so I can just select command 1 to activate the Bookmarklet and a window pops up allowing me to name, tag, locate and notate the url. It is so quick and effortless that I absolutely love it.
I also love the quick look feature to view the web site prior to opening it or selecting another url.
Try the trial version and I think you will see how helpful it really is.

I changed my mind about buying LLB too. I like the elegant layout and smooth keyboard navigation in particular. Also, its most direct competition, AllBookmarks, doesn't seem to have much development going on right now. It works fine, but it seems to have reached a point where they probably won't do much more with it feature-wise (fair enough, considering all the work the folks at Agile put into 1Password). Since LLB is at version 1.0, I think it's safe to expect some substantial improvements in the future.

Never mind which browser you are using, just drag your favorite URL's to the icon at the top bar and let Little Bookmark Box sort them using your own personalized smart bookmark boxes. As well you can create your own static folders.
It works very well for my needs and ever since I installed Little Black Box, I doubled the number of my bookmarks and at the same time reduced the chaos in my browsers. So the only thing suitable is a full 5-Star rating.
Problems with the plugin:

When I open it from Little Bookmark Box it
tries to open FireFox 4.x.

links added to LBB are opened with your selected default browser unless you choose
another (Open With...).
BTW, I guess MU is not the right place for support. If you need assistance or have
further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email.
