Ask HN: What do you use to store your bookmarks
I am still looking for an article I read recently that I wanted to quote. Some folks on here can snap back a URL in seconds, so I guess they have really good and well indexed bookmarks on evernote or somesuch. But how exactly do these paragons of memory do it? What is your secret please?

I generally don't rely that much on bookmarks any more. I find I can recall enough about a page that a few minutes searching on google is enough to find it again. So these sorts of mildly interesting pages don't get bookmarked.
Pages that I think might be useful for some task and that I'm unlikely to recall get placed into a comment on that task in trello. Overtime each task builds up a small online literature review.
Pages that fall somewhere in between get bookmarked but if they haven't made their way to trello by the time I next wipe my computer, they're gone.

Same here. I'm even more rigorous and don't keep any bookmarks at all. So far I was always able to recall from where I got a link or to whom I passed it on. So in a sense me twitter feed an my email outbox are my bookmarks.
For me, this is a Major pain. I use pinboard.in, and kippt but neither tools is enough for me. I wish to discover a new tool.
I just use google chromes built in bookmarking. I'm logged in on my work and home computer, my iPhone and my iPad so I can always find that link. It comes down to finding proper folders for everything.
I use Pocket - it has extensions for desktop browsers, apps for major mobile platforms, and offline sync. Free.

Glad to see you're using Pocket. I'm working on an awesome HN app that has Pocket functionality built in.
I also stick to using Pocket. The best part is the tagging feature. Whenever, I add something to Pocket, I ensure to tag it. Later when I need to find something, I can simply lookup the tag instead of finding a needle in the haystack.
Here's an entire thread on this from a few weeks ago:

try historio.us, so far I have found it too good. Once you save a bookmark, you can login and have a search similar to google that allows you to find right page from your bookmarked sites.
