Google and Instapaper killed Delicious for me.

I used to bookmark anything interesting. 3 years ago my bookmarks menu wouldn't fit on the screen at once, and that was just the category folders. Later someone showed me Delicious, and I stated migrating my bookmarks there. But search engines have gotten so good, I don't even bookmark pages anymore.

Why bother tagging when searching's faster? I only have to vaguely remember what the page was about and I'm there (or somewhere better).

Instapaper + Kindle is an awesome combination. Previously I would have a set of bookmarks which were only articles I meant to read later. Now, I just press the Instapaper bookmarklet, and at some time later that day or the next I'll be reading that article on my Kindle... generally during a bathroom break.
