Re:Ask HN: What do you do with your list of articles links?

Well, sometimes I'm digging through my (multiple!) lists of links when I remember a tidbit that relates to what I'm working on but most of the time those lists gather dust.
In the future I'd like to maintain a link log or something similar on my personal website like some people do:
The weird thing about saved links in my case is that I get the most satisfaction out of them when I share them with friends and so on, a bit of "Hey! I think this might be helpful, here you go" and that ends up being the extent of that particular link's usefulness for myself most of the time. Of course I can't accurately gauge how helpful it actually is for the other person.
