The end of bookmarks, but the start of something else?

Web Add comments

I rarely bookmark any webpages I visit. The awesomebar has cleverly replaced the traditional paradigm of what bookmarks were. If I need anything, the awesomebar handles it. HOWEVER, one thing that it doesn’t do is remind me. The only time I use bookmarks is when I know I’ll never visit the site unless something reminds me to visit. For example, I just made a comment on a blog, and I want to see other comments or if the blogger replied to me. This particular blog doesn’t email me when people reply. It does have an RSS feed for comments, but nothing I want to go through the trouble of having to subscribe to it. So I choose to check manually. I would never remember to do so, so I bookmarked it.

At the very least, I would have a record that I should have checked it. Hmm, maybe something should automate this for me? ;)
