Instapaper: Bookmarking doesn't get much easier than this
The problem is that most bookmarking methods either make it hard to organize your pages or include a rather cumbersome tagging scheme. Instapaper avoids these problems by offering simple one-click bookmarking. There's no real organization to speak of other than read and unread items. But if your goal is to save a handful of pages to read later today or over the weekend and don't need to save them for all eternity, Intapaper can be incredibly useful.
All you need to do is register for a free account (no password necessary, just enter a name or email address) and drag a bookmarklet to your browser toolbar. When you visit a site you want to read later, just click the bookmarklet and it will be added to your Instapaper page. When you want to see the list, just visit Instapaper.com. Every time you click on a link it will be marked as read. Or you can delete links you no longer need. That's it.
Instapaper probably won't win any awards for the largest number of features packed into a web site. But it does one thing and does it well.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Awesome! Exactly what I've been looking for, although I may make my own interpretation to run locally, fantastic concept tho. Get sick of tagging things "todo" or "to read" or ending up with untitled53. Nice find
