I fondly remember del.icio.us which was an amazingly simple tag-based bookmarking tool.

I believe it shut down shortly after being acquired by Yahoo and appears inop today. There may be a decent alternative out there but my system for bookmarking things in that way died with their service, sadly.

I self-host Shaarli[1] with the 2004licious theme[2], as an emulation of early del.icio.us. It works really well - no database (it saves a single .php file), minimal interface, and it has an Android app. It also has tag and note support. I only wish it supported plain notes; you have to have a URL for each entry.

Oliver here from the Memex team.

glad you bring that up :) After we are finished with the current work on making Memex more stable and user friendly, we are working on shareable collections. With that you can share lists of websites, papers, notes and annotations with your peers, or co-curate those collections together.

Fantastic, I gave Memex a try and I really like, well done! I am also very much looking forward to the upcoming features, I think that such a bookmarking system is largely needed.

No that is an entirely different beast :)

Both projects took the inspiration for the name from the same thing though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex
