With all due respect to Joshua Schachter and his brilliant contribution to the net I have just one major gripe with the most popular social bookmarking site around: Why can’t I bookmark multiple tabs at a time?
It seems there’s been so much focus on sharing and building up the community they forgot one simple thing: At least half of the equation for delicious is the ability to store your bookmarks in one central place. So why is it 7 years later delicious is still using the same fundamental mechanism of bookmarking websites, one link at a time?
My browsing habits have changed significantly over the last several years. Haven’t yours? In most cases, each browser instance I have open represents a theme. For example I might be searching on web design related articles in one browser instance and have Hacker News and related tabs open in another. This repeats itself over and over again with each new browser instance, the first tab representing the core and the additional tabs representing related content, searches, and tangential information, all of it revolving around one central theme.
So my question is: Why can’t I bookmark my themes? Tabbed browsing should imply tabbed bookmarking right? You would think so but apparently bookmarking is still stuck back in the 90s when the web was considerably smaller and more manageable. Is it too much to ask for a web based bookmarking site that allows me to bookmark the web the same way I browse it?
It also looks like I’m not alone.
Anyone else feel like their bookmarking prowess could use a boost?
