I am still looking for an article I read recently that I wanted to quote. Some folks on here can snap back a URL in seconds, so I guess they have really good and well indexed bookmarks on evernote or somesuch. But how exactly do these paragons of memory do it? What is your secret please?

I use Pocket - it has extensions for desktop browsers, apps for major mobile platforms, and offline sync. Free.

I also stick to using Pocket. The best part is the tagging feature. Whenever, I add something to Pocket, I ensure to tag it. Later when I need to find something, I can simply lookup the tag instead of finding a needle in the haystack.

Glad to see you're using Pocket. I'm working on an awesome HN app that has Pocket functionality built in.

For me, this is a Major pain. I use pinboard.in, and kippt but neither tools is enough for me. I wish to discover a new tool.

I generally don't rely that much on bookmarks any more. I find I can recall enough about a page that a few minutes searching on google is enough to find it again. So these sorts of mildly interesting pages don't get bookmarked.

Pages that I think might be useful for some task and that I'm unlikely to recall get placed into a comment on that task in trello. Overtime each task builds up a small online literature review.

Pages that fall somewhere in between get bookmarked but if they haven't made their way to trello by the time I next wipe my computer, they're gone.

Same here. I'm even more rigorous and don't keep any bookmarks at all. So far I was always able to recall from where I got a link or to whom I passed it on. So in a sense me twitter feed an my email outbox are my bookmarks.

Here's an entire thread on this from a few weeks ago:

I just use google chromes built in bookmarking. I'm logged in on my work and home computer, my iPhone and my iPad so I can always find that link. It comes down to finding proper folders for everything.

try historio.us, so far I have found it too good. Once you save a bookmark, you can login and have a search similar to google that allows you to find right page from your bookmarked sites.
