For me bookmarking does not mean that I want to read the article, it usually mean that I think it may be useful for certain task in the future want it to be in my search result some times. Since sometimes I want to read in depth about something that I read briefly long ago, it is really hard for me to find it back.


It's like a personal/curated library. I don't see what's wrong with that. Whenever I start thinking about some article or other I vaguely remember and want to re-read it, but can't find it again without substantial effort, I wish I'd been more fastidious about saving and archiving that article.

You see it best in how Luhmann used the Zettelkasten system, where ideas and resources are linked to topics that he wanted to think and write about.


I've found web bookmarks don't even need to be sorted into folders. You can always search the bookmarks if you remember a fragment of the title, else just scroll back through them manually until you find it.
