I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a fan. (02)
I would be interested in your bookmarks because your depth of knowledge
provides insights into highly specialized subjects within your domain.
For example, your bookmarks might list Semantical Considerations on
Modal Logic, where my Google search on Kripke turned up Naming and
Necessity. (03)
Through Faceboook, I watch what Danny Weitzner bookmarks because he
typically bookmarks useful legal, social, political and cultural pieces.
I get a quick look at what's useful to him and broaden my exposure. (04)

Understood. Not only the idiosyncratic choice of what is bookmarked, but
the implications of folksonomic classification schemes. (06)

Understood. I typically bookmark low page rank subjects. I'm currently
learning Haskell and there are a lot of gems out there that don't show
up in the first five pages of results. (08)
A couple of other scenarios: a) stumbling on something when looking for
something else, b) not having enough time to read something and coming
back later, and c) the social value of sharing in conversation, and
saying "look in my delicious bookmarks." (09)
Anyway, I hope you and others here would give this some thought. If we
look out on a long time horizon, I believe there's significant value in
preserving the knowledge of this forum's members. Bookmarks preserve
that knowledge in a complementary way to preserving the debate. (010)
And exposing the entire forum's knowledge would be very powerful. (011)
