The issue isn't bookmarking and making that simpler. It's realizing that when we bookmark something, we often bookmark a sentence, paragraph, or area of a page that we have no way of easily finding of what they bookmarked mentally. Ever needed to go through dozens of link in a category or folder to find the "one". Having an intelligent search for the annotations of the web that you make live is invaluable for finding and sharing all the information you extract and want to save for re-use later.

If anyone can compare this to Diigo, I'd be much obliged.

Does Diigo support reading and annotating quotes offline on the iPad app? Like InstaPaper + Quotes / Annotations? The iPad app does not look too fancy in the app store, I have to say. Apart from that I like the service's offering.
I'm finding Diigo's strength to be in the browser. I haven't tried the mobile apps in a while and I know others have these features.

One neat part of Diigo for me is being able to create an rss feed that you could presumably feed into one of these other apps.
