FRSBIM – Feed Reading Social Bookmarking Information Management
There is an abundance of social bookmarking sites. I have my favorites. But I don’t have the time to check all of them out. So, here is my request list. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
While it is nice to tag and share and all that, I want to be able to track my own actions with each bookmark. In particular I want to be able to mark the following:
- Write/Blog about it
- Mark it as read or action taken
When I bookmark something, I want to be able to go back and and check little radio buttons for each of the tasks above. I bookmark some stuff I want to write about. It is irritating to bookmark it AND add it to my to do list. OR create a empty draft post with the link to it (this becomes overwhelmingly cluttered).
There is some stuff I bookmark that I want to read LATER. I often forget. Would be nice to login and see what has been read and what hasn’t. Bookmarking services shouldn’t equate a bookmark with having read it. Bookmarks are of course, just placemarkers.
I am finding social bookmarks to be an inefficient means to create task lists off of.
Wouldn’t it be great if my Feed Reader, Task Manager and Social Bookmarks all worked together?
So here’s an idea for someone, anyone. Name the service PlaceMarker. Create a Feed Reader, Task Manager and Social Bookmarker that works together. Posts I read in my feed reader can not only be flagged or tagged but ALSO added to my Task Manager for some action to be done later (either read it or blog about it). Likewise, items I bookmark would work the same.
It is time to start integrating some of these apps – FRSBIM (freeze-bim).

[...] For me, I don’t find Digg to be a tool that helps me keep my information organized. Nor do I find that it is worth my time to find out what is Hot this second. While I do visit del.icio.us to find out what people are bookmarking, more often than not I am using it to organize my links. Which, by the way, they could still go a long way in improving. [...]
