> Pretty useful for archiving discussions on Reddit.

What I do now is save the comments within the discussions (on HN, Reddit, Twitter etc) as text which is indexable and searchable with additional metadata which helps for filtering (author is the main one I use), while automatically archiving the entire URLs associated with them.[1]

For me, this is the best of both worlds - quick access via fault-tolerant search and filtering to the most interesting stuff while having a snapshot archive for the full context.
