I found the perfect answer to this question, in a way its comical. You use a blog! Use a blogthis bookmarklet/extension. You select a bit of text on a web page, click the blogthis button and POOF a wonderful formatted post with a block quote in an editor comes up. You write your own ramble under it. Add appropriate tags and/or categories.
If you want to be really meta about it you start blogs about separate topics. Enable comments if you like but don't make an effort for others. The target audience is just you. Real traffic is even undesirable since it requires comment moderation. A private/invitation only blogger blog honestly will do just fine. Host your own if its not a big deal for you.
Funny notes:
Not a week goes by without an email from someone looking to do SEO on my bookmarks.
Google search banned one of my blogs one time, probably because it had to many links or a lot of links to unpopular pages.
I arrived at this formula trying to build an audience for my blogs both high and low effort postings did nothing. Why should I even care? I find everything onthere fascinating. The largest one has a ton of people making claims that seem to good to be true. If it was aimed to create an audience I would have to endlessly explain to what extend I believe the claims.

I even write postings for my own amusement http://blog.go-here.nl/8616 http://blog.go-here.nl/8616

- themodelplumber 7y agoFunny about the SEO emails. Same here. I did this with Textpattern... It's up to something like 3000 links now? Anyway I also get people pointing out dead links of _their own_ because they changed domains or whatever...but really, 99% of those are links in which I've lost interest anyway. If I have the time and interest to fix a single link or even a batch, I'm pretty lucky. The entries are descriptive so they're pretty easy to search up anyway. I still update that DB but most commonly keep links in text files now, either journal files or files for specific topics. Then I use grep or silver searcher or Catfish to look them up. I'm considering exporting my DB for this purpose as well. I find that I do go back more often to: Music I liked, blogs or sites that were well-designed, Project Gutenberg books I liked, and Wikipedia articles I enjoyed. The cool thing about links kept in a blog with categories assigned is just as you said--you can start microblogs really easily and this was always a strength of Textpattern: Lightweight software that supported multiple blogs out of the box, just go create a new "section" and you're off and running. TXP tags are also kind of fun. Anyway... I'm sure there are tons of ways to do this now. I also remember making multiple RSS feeds for DB categories for use in third party sites.
- joleyj 7y agoI couldn't find a Chrome extension named "blogthis" or "blog this". Can you give me a link to that extension? Thanks
- alexweber 7y agoWordPress has a bookmarklet called “Press This” which sounds very similar: https://wordpress.com/support/press-this/ https://wordpress.com/support/press-this/
- danaw 7y agoThanks! I do really like the idea of turning my notes/bookmarks into a blog for various reasons. The micro blogs on topics is a cool idea too
