I always have roughly 50 tabs open in Firefox at any one time. Some of them are interesting to others, some are not. Either way, they make my browser move very slowly sometimes. They're things I mean to read, want to read, have read and want to read again, and the like. I try to bookmark things, but if they aren't more directly accessible I forget what they are. So, what better thing to do than share them with marginally interested people, make them searchable for me later, put them all in one place, and allow me to speed up my browser so I don't spend five minutes trying to load things when I launch Firefox?
