Personally, I've stopped bookmarking everything I find somewhat interesting. Now if I do find something and it will be used in the next week/month, it's often part of an existing project or idea, and so it gets thrown in a text file that's versioned.

I started doing this after accumulating a huge index of bookmarks spread across saved.io, Evernote, Google Bookmarks, iCloud, Firefox, Opera, txt files, Google Spaces and the other dozen or so bookmarking/collaborative knowledge sharing platforms showcased on Product Hunt.

I'm surprised there's no digital equivalent to the Hoarders TV show. I suppose thousands of bookmarks are less impressive than a garage full of old newspapers and rats.




Yes, I quite realise that with my bookmarks its the equivalent of on-line hoarding. I keep all of mine in pinboard though so it's fairly well organised hoarding.

I was using delicious up from 2004 - 2014. I just realised I never actually closed my account there. Think I'd better close it to keep the hoarding to a minumum.
