Thanks Owen. Since I use only firefox and only one computer, I can see why I have never felt the need..

Nick: this lets you search your bookmarks, sorta like your own personal google on the pages you've shown interest in the past. Also: the browsers have "plugins" which make it easy to add a widget that quickly add the current page you are looking at to your "cloud" bookmarks. And if you've selected any data on that page, it becomes a "note", also for searching.

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?
