Comment on Ask HN: How do you organize the online "content" you consume?

Comments

I mostly use Google Reader. I use the shareaholic firefox extension to add non-RSS sites to my Google Reader shared items, so I can search for them later - I don't share publically.

To a lesser extent: evernote, readitlater, and firefox bookmark folders.

My mantra: don't archive what will still be there tomorrow, and don't sort what you can search for.

Websites (or just specific content on a site) are not guaranteed to be there tomorrow. They just probably will be there tomorrow.

Agreed - it's your time downloading and organising stuff versus the possibility that it might one day go away; for me, it's rarely a contest. I can imagine certain situations (eg. you are a publicity agent saving public mentions of your client) where it really is your business to preserve such things, but I don't fall in that category and I doubt most people do.
