I agree with you that user experience is important, but seeing so many alternatives that fail makes me wonder if maybe what is needed is a disruptive feature such offline access. Pinboard has everything you need to bookmark and is fast, pleople love it. However it does not have offline access to files and I wonder if that would make the difference for some people.

That's a good point and I think you're right. I know personally bookmarks are easily put into three categories:

* Sites I visit often and don't want to have to type to access

* Things I found and want to read (or reread) in the future

* and finally pictures or funny things I want to be able to share or look at later. So almost the same as #2.

For for items 2 & 3 offline access would be a great feature.
