Regarding your last comment,

> - Now can someone come up with a good bookmarking addon / workflow for me? :)

Unless I've missed something I'm puzzled why social bookmarking has never taken off or achieved critical mass. Once upon a time there was deli.cio.us (or however they punctuated it!) but when that went through a bunch of churn I think it felt like it got semi-abandoned - I stopped using it _ages_ ago anyway.

What is more incredible to me is that Linked Data is based on URLs so you'd think that social bookmarking would have evolved out of something in that space at some point but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't.

Perhaps it's the organisational, classification, taxonomy/folksonomy[1], tagging conundrum that is holding this space back, I really don't know.
