Using a bookmark manager like diigo might let you save those articles with your own keywords and search on those topics later.

The feature I like best about diigo is for what I do read, I can highlight the sentences I want to recall or locate later.

That just puts it out of sight, out of mind. I have thousands of meticulously tagged tabs, including a tag called "toread". I think I can count the number of those I've read without taking my shoes off. And if I want something in the future I generally find myself googling it.

But I have on more than one occasion been unable to remember how I got to a page, or even how to search for it, and in those times I found my system invaluable.

I find I don't bookmark a page as much as bookmark a sentence in my mind.

Less out of sight as well, the next time I do a google search, diigo plugin injects my existing stuff beside the search. I like the offline copy it keeps for me like you said.

It's not perfect but not a sinkhole of bookmarks.
