A comment on A proposal for a better bookmarking service.

Sounds very nice. A feature I'd love to see is not directly a timeout but a periodic reminder. I often start reading something (or I do read it) and then decide that I don't have the time now, but would love to read it (again) sometime. Giving me some of the booksmarks I haven't seen in a while (months) would be great.

Also, obligatory: automatically archive each site that I bookmark. Too often I've found myself trying to return to a bookmark only to find the page gone.

Author of the manifesto here. Thanks for the validation.

Makes sense. That's something I had in my mind too. The default behavior will be a timeout-less, periodical reminder. I just felt having a timeout will help me prioritize an article when I'm in the zone.

As for me, most times there's this bursts of interest in certain areas (the zone) that gradually fades away with time. I'd like to use the zone, to complete my reading list related to that area of interest and hence the timeout.
