All, In relation to bookmarking of content i recently started using Licorize. (www.licorize.com). It is by far the best application for my bookmarking,reviewing,sharing, and acting on content i find via twitter, web search, linkedin, etc. I highly recommend taking a look. I no longer forget to read items i've bookmarked for more study, or have to check if someone reviewed a link i shared with them. Tagging, Syncing, Projects, Sharing, etc. Truly outstanding.
