For my site I title pages going from most specific on the left to least 
specific on the right.  The reason I do this is because if you open a 
bunch of windows or tabs that are all from my site, you can tell which 
is which pretty easily.  As an example, reading a thread in my forums 
has a title composed of [thread name] - [forum name] - [site name].

I never really thought about bookmarks, but I think it's generally more 
useful to know what the bookmarked page is than which site it's from.
