I have been using de.icio.us for several months now to store my colossal
collection of bookmarks. I'm starting to wonder though if Google
history isn't better. I don't have to worry about bookmarking. At my
leisure I could go back and review where I've been and tag anything I
find appealing and save it into my Google bookmarks. OTOH, in the
spirit of David Allen's "Getting Things Done" philosophy I'm better off
bookmarking it when I'm on the page because I'll never get around to
browsing my history.
