These are all great tools for bookmarking. I just wish I didn’t have to use so many to capture all the media I consume.

“And his trails do not fade. Several years later, his talk with a friend turns to…. He has an example.… In fact he has a trail on it. A touch brings up the code book.… So he sets a reproducer in action, photographs the whole trail out, and passes it to his friend for insertion in his own memex, there to be linked into the more general trail.” Vannevar Bush, “As We May Think”

“First he runs through an encyclopedia, finds an interesting but sketchy article, leaves it projected. Next, in a history, he finds another pertinent item, and ties the two together. Thus he goes, building a trail of many items. Occasionally he inserts a comment of his own, either linking it into the main trail or joining it by a side trail to a particular item.” Vannevar Bush, “As We May Think”
