As my twitter followers know, I have tweeted a few times about a boomark folder I have set up called “stuff to look at later”. It contains all of the interesting headlines of articles or interesting sites that I would like to take the time to look at, at a later date.
Have you ever gone back through your bookmarks a few days later and ask yourself “Why did I bookmark that site?” I think that when you are on twitter you tend to go into auto pilot and you end up bookmarking most of the links tweeted and then when you go back you cannot think of a valid reason why you’ve bookmarked a certain site.
No disrespect to those who have tweeted the link, they are of the opinion that the site they have linked could interest someone else. This past week I’ve started to learn to filter out what is of genuine interst to me.
So over to you in the comments have you ever asked yourself the question “Why did I bookmark that site?”

I agree wholeheartedly. “What was I thinking?” At times, it’s even worse – I’ll install an application and forget about it until I bump my head on capacity of the hard drive and then go through looking for programs to remove.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
yes~ tho i started instead to ask myself: When do I have a “later”, and now read-as-i-go; i do not need another tray~ inbox always has something in it.
And social bookmarking is such an easy way to “save” stuff. I know where it is if stored at stumble or myblog or a over at jamie olivers.
I totally know what you’re saying here! I have a Bookmark labeled ‘To Visit’.
But ya know what I found better than doing this? http://www.laterloop.com/ or http://readbag.com/
I use laterloop. It’s quite handy.
