Why tabs don't make a good todo list
Information overload is the biggest problem on the internet. Quite apart from the distraction possibilities, there is always more available than there is time to write about.
One way I try and deal with this is to leave interesting sites open in a tab for later. I suppose I could try and justify that under the 'defer'.
The problem is that my browser starts using rather a lot of memory. As you can see here Opera is using over 125MB of RAM.
This isn't a criticism of Opera, it's the same with any browser but it's a good example of a good idea that isn't.
My alternative is to use del.iciou.us an online bookmarking service. I don't have a huge contact list but it is very useful for making a note of bookmarks at work to look at when I get back home. Then again it's been a very long time since I looked through the toread tag.
