I really hate this kind of response. No, your thing is not strictly better. It's cool, it might be better for you and many others, but it doesn't even do the same thing (archive all visited pages)!

I really hate this kind of whinging response.

This archives every page I'm ever interested in, just fine. Links are preserved just fine, all the data that got me interested in the web page in the first place are just there on my disk, easily accessible any time of day without requiring any further accounts.

It is better since it doesn't require any involvement of a third party, is always accessible to me no matter the state of the Internet, and gives me absolute control over all of the data, which I can mine using whatever toolset I want. In fact, I get more data out of this method than the service described in the article.

True, there are different approaches to solve this problem according to the individual preferences.

A user recently said, X would use 'Calendar to remind about bookmarks' in a discussion about this problem[1].
