How do you do that? To me, the real value of these on-line services 
isn't that I can bookmark things. I can do that locally and I can sync 
bookmarks easily enough without needing them. The real value is in the 
tagging and how I can search my bookmarks, neither of which I've found a 
good way to do locally. That I can easily share my bookmarks with others 
is a bonus. Bookmarks without tags and the ability to search them aren't 
of much value to me.

Diigo offers a bunch of other stuff too, none of which I use or care about.
