Re: WebtopMania: How to send posts to twitter, jaiku and pownce all at once.

I wonder if you could somehow combine this 'Take Screenshot' bookmarklet with your bookmarklet? Or somehow create a workflow that takes a screenshot from a bookmarklet. Then you could tag it, post it to Evernote and Flickr, then Twit it with a shortened url.

I tried Diigo, found it too cumbersome. delicious is hard to beat when you use the FF extension. Of course, you can only clip up to 1000 characters of text, no images, but most of the time that is all I need. It's the tagging and its integration with the browser which make delicious so effortless to use. Effortless is good. If you need to clip images, video, or even a static shot of the whole page, Evernote is a very nice offering with superb search capability and tagging. Too bad the FF extension for Evernote isn't more like the one for delicious.
If you use Google Reader, it has a bookmarklet to post pages (remove the enclosing quotes) along with your comment:
"javascript:var%20b=document.body;var%20GR________bookmarklet_domain='http://www.google.com';if(b&&!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement('script'));void(z.src='http://www.google.com/reade...}else{}"

Re: Why create a custom search engine out of your bookmarks?

@sarahintampa: The idea you describe seems a lot like what you can easily do with DeliGoo and delicious. Not sure why you would want to go to the effort to re-invent the wheel... not that there is anything wrong with that but I doubt most people would want to. On the other hand, as an exercise in understanding the way things work, good for you; perhaps it will lead to greater innovations in the future. If you want to appeal to an audience you will need to give a reason such as: compelling interface, does something completely new, etc. Apologies but I don't grasp anything new in what you have said (perhaps it remains unsaid). Re: bookmarking is OVER... no, it is just rapidly evolving. Definitely moving into the cloud where it rightfully belongs. Blogging as it is often practiced is really just a modified form of bookmarking, yes? I wonder if you have had a look at YubNub.org, which combines bookmarking, social interaction, and something dubbed the "command line for the web OS." You can define your own public or private commands accessible from any browser with no need to subscribe to a service. There are even some Firefox add-ons to make using YubNub easier... check it out.
