Manage your Bookmarks: furl.net

Discovered a bit by accident, check out www.furl.net. It is a web-based "filing cabinet" for links. A little odd, as at first I thought, "Why is this any better than bookmarks?" But it's power is in storing stories that you're interested in. For example, I have a bookmark for the New York Times, but I don't bookmark every story that I'm interested in to reference later. But that's just what Furl is designed to do. If it's interesting, grab it, and later you can find it in your archive. Plus it's designed for sharing, and can RSS feed your latest grabs. If you and your friends are constantly trading links, this could be a cool tool. It's also just one line of java to reference your archive on a web page, so that it shows up the last number of entries there.

Curious to hear other folks' take on this. Seems like an interesting service. Wonder if it will last...
