Bookmarks projects fail to be interesting because simply recording a list of links (maybe with folders or tags or some other categorization method) is something anyone can do trivially in a text file. They add no value because they only focus on the easiest part - simply capturing the link. My bookmarks.txt file is just as easy to use and requires only a text editor. I can sync it multiple computers, organize and search it any way I want, back it up, add notes, etc. In many ways a text file is a vast improvement over the existing solutions.<p>If you really want to make a good bookmark app, you need to understand that the act of bookmarking, organizing bookmarks, and using bookmarks are three completely separate activities. When you create a bookmark, you want minimal interaction - click the star, maybe add a tag, and move on. When you're organizing bookmarks you want to review and restructure what you've already bookmarked into folders, a mindmap, etc. while taking into account the content behind each link. When you're using bookmarks, you want to leverage that existing organization scheme to find what you want quickly. Most bookmark features/plugins are decent at the first step of capturing the link, but are terrible at or completely ignore the rest.<p>I would love to see a bookmark app that was designed in the spirit of "Getting Things Done" - where ideas are captured quickly but then funneled into a system where they are later reviewed regularly and acted upon. Just capturing a list of bookmarks and regurgitating them to the user is not sufficient and can be easily replaced with a text file.
