So one use I have for HN is that I upvote submissions that are things that I want to come back to and read later. I know bookmarks are kind of made for this, but I've never really gotten into the bookmark thing. (For that matter, I also rarely use the speed dial on my phone..) That's probably because I change computers/browsers regularly, and having lost all my bookmarks years and years ago, I stopped using them.
It also bothers me to treat upvoting "comments" this way.. I want it to stay under the "upvoted submissions" link on my profile. So I googled "computer graphics from scratch site:news.ycombinator.com" and upvoted the first submission that linked to your page.
I guess what I'm getting at is that method somehow feels wrong to me. Anyone have suggestions for "read-it-later" type bookmarks?
Use a blog-this bookmarklet. It inserts the highlighted text into a fresh post with the page title linked to the page.
I've been blogging for wel over a decade for the audience of 1. He is perfectly in tune with the author and immensely enjoys everything I post. Sometimes the audience grows by 100% for a short while but after clicking around the categories and the insane amount of hierachic tags he never visits more than 5 citations.
It is highly amusing when he suggests to make the website even better. As if that is possible.
When google droped it I explained that I make the website and they may index it or chose not to. Their ideas how to improve the site and their attempt to force me was like they live on a different planet. They use to do organic ranking? I thought it facinating how they thought they could do that without accounting for my interests.
Point being: you want one of these websites just to have people (consumers) hate on it.
Do try to keep the personal notes as if addessing an audience. When you read those 10 years from now you say out loud: woah this guy is clearly a genius. By that time your 20k "bookmarks" (from now on called blog posts) will have a search engine allowing you to swiftly deeplink buddies into your mind so that they can have conversations under it that become similar treasures the decade after that.

Something similar happened to me, so I started storing my bookmarks under revision control. I don't add to them too often, so committing & pushing is a process that reminds me to not bookmark things unless they're _really_ interesting.
cool. I was looking to build something like this for a while. But never give serious thoughts. I am inspired again now. Along with links/bookmarks, I really want a support for words also. Because many times, it is just easy to save words and later query using google e.g. Radix Sort
I find if I don’t actively read something then it’ll never happen. I use (not well) safari tabs this way on my iPhone, as it allows me to create an infinite number of tabs that are backed up and accessible from other devices.
