I like the idea of bookmarking services, but I've never used one due to the fact that I always have enough to do at any given moment. I've never had a moment where I thought "OK, now I have time to get to those articles I bookmarked". If I used such a service I would quickly build up an impossibly large backlog of learning and reading material.<p>That being said, I can definitely see the value of knowing what people intend to do if they only had the time, money, etc.<p>Maybe I'll wish I had used a bookmarking service if I live long enough to have my brain uploaded into a computer!
I was guilty as well, but since I began to see 'saving something to consume it later' as basically stealing time from my future self for trivial reading of no real consequence (let's be honest, we could unplug from HN, twitter & co. for weeks and not miss out on anything vital) I became much much much more conservative in what I save.<p>And if you really don't even have time to skim an article at the very moment you found it why are you browsing anyway?
There is only one pure bookmarking app in this list: Pinboard. Pocket & Instapaper are bookmarking/read later Apps. Wunderlist & Evernote are productivity Apps w/bookmarking functionality tacked on (Evernote less so). Tumblr, Pinterest & Product Hunt are social networks.
Hey Everyone,<p>Just wanted to jump in here and say that me and my business partner are making a bookmarking app that falls in squarely in the visual and private corner of all these apps if you look at the article.<p>It's called Linkship and you can check it out at <a href="https://www.getlinkship.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.getlinkship.com</a><p>It's in the very early stages of development, and we're in the process of adding a whole slew of useful features. Would love for anyone to try it out and give us feedback. We're only two people, but we're working hard to do this right :D
