==== Implementation started? ====

    http://paperlined.org/socialbookmark/

==== Basic premise ====
produce a page that's a combination of:
    - http://all.reddit.com/user/interiot/saved  (oh, crap, that went away in the last rewrite...  okay, see this instead:  http://reddit.com/info/7pit/comments)
    - the links that I end up recommending to friends/family

(eg. it's not supposed to be the random crud I come across minute-by-minute, it's supposed to be more polished than that)


==== Background ====
digg/reddit/stumble are cool.  However, they don't provide enough functionality.  For the longest
time (like...  before Slashdot was around), I've wanted this sort of system.  And I wanted to have a
central area for MY own content, customized to the sort of content I'm interested in.
(and independent of whatever the hottest-community-site-of-the-day is, since that will always change)

        (no, really, I actually was trying to figure out Digg and AJAX before they were actually
        developed...  okay, I didn't stick to it long enough to figure it out, but still, I knew it
        was needed)


==== Input form ====
When I click on the bookmarklet to add a link, it should give me these options:


    - this is a link that I don't have time to read / can't watch video in office / can't look at
      porn at office (whatever), so put it on the "look at at the next available chance"   [yes/no]


    - I viewed most of the content, and this is something I really should look into more in the
      future, but it will:
        - take a lot of time to read
        - take some time to install
        - take time to tinker with and learn...
      so put it on the "stuff to digest later" list   [yes/no]


    - this is good enough to publish on my public list    [yes/no]
        
        - with an optional message?   [textbox]


    - this link is of general interest to my friends/family...  put this on the "stuff to foist on
      my friends if they're ever bored" list    [yes/no]

    - none of the above; however, this is something I'll want to review if I visit this specific
      topic again (eg. it's great documentation, reference, set of examples, or whatnot)   [yes/no]


==== Output format ====

Or, just do a sort of super-succinct blog like scripting.com, or fark.com?
        [yes!  this is exactly how I want to do it...  the goal is to 1) in as short of time as
        possible, convince someone that this is a link worth reading (or make it easy to skip if
        it's a subject they're not interested in, and 2) make it easy to search back through the
        archives, and dig up a link I barely remember]



As a bonus, make a list of specific sites that I spend a ton of time at  (eg. slashdot, reddit,
pandora, wikipedia, wikimaps, etc etc etc...).  Then create a Firefox plugin that tracks my time at
each, and then displays a graph on the paperlined.org homepage, that 


Also, at least make minimal provisions for an .RSS feed of the links...  in case someone actually
thinks what I say is useful enough to follow it.
