In a browser you can store only a small number of bookmarks, and only on one
computer. As Joshua said, if you use multiple computers or multiple browsers
then a social bookmark services is useful. Social bookmark services are
available from any computer, and offer functionalities like tagging. Tags
are useful to find bookmarks and to create taxonomies or folksonomies. You
can also see what other people in your network have bookmarked.
So how many of you use pinboard, and how many use diigo? Hands up, please
:-)

Another one of those naïve questions that drive you guys nuts:
Why would I want a book marking service beyond what is provided by my
browser? [firefox] Not a rhetorical question.
