Short story, my own system with over 16k links.

Back in 2004 there a competing service to delicious called Furl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furl) it would save a snapshot of page you were saving.

The only downside was it was slow so I modified the bookmarklet to point to my own domain. I called my system Lruf (furl backwards) built with PHP and MySQL.

It worked well enough for a very long time, I would occasionally work on it. It was built in a very 2004 way (logic and display intertwined)

I had added other features through out the years (tagging, rating, 404 checking, etc).

Last year I finally rewrote the entire system using a framework, I used diffbot to extract the text from the page and opencalais to help with auto tagging bookmarks. I switched search to use Solr.

It has been a nice little side project for the last 9 years.
