Currently, I track my bookmarks with Pinboard. I export my bookmarks from Pinboard to Twitter via IfThisThenThat. (My Twitter is then imported into my journal, the hub of my online life. Since it's a question that comes up:
semanticist wrote the import script and graciously hosts it for me; it requires a server with Ruby to run.)
Since every now and then I go on the sort of bookmarking spree that is neither neighborly nor useful when automatically shipped to Twitter, I decided that I'd do something about that.
I tweaked my IfThisThenThat task to only export the bookmarks tagged 'twitter', which will take care of most of the future situations where I might be dealing with an asston of bookmarks which I know that only I will care about.
Then, since I know my own lazy habits, I tweaked my Pinboard bookmarklet.
This opens the portable Pinboard add page (with tags on), filling in the URL, page title, optionally description (with what's selected on the page), and (my addition) automatically filling in the tag 'twitter' every time [edit:
ursamajor's addition: as a private tag]. If I leave the tag, it ships (the default I want), but if I merely remove that tag, it doesn't. [Edit: Either way, since it's a private tag, no one else should see the tag cluttering up things.] Sorted!
