Bingo. I stopped using bookmarking services after finally admitting this to myself.

I also had this nagging feeling from having a list of "to read" links that I never read -- like having a long list of "to dos" that you never get around to doing, it makes you feel bad.

And whenever I did make the time to read some of these things, they were disappointingly insignificant.

That is what I get with using Pocket. I put stuff in there that when I get around to reading I think "was THIS what I was keeping that browser tab open for all this time?"

I think that we want to read those things because we are procrastinating doing something else. Like what I am doing with writing this comment :).
