This extension (Memex) flies wide of the mark. I won't elaborate beyond saying that as a tool it suffers technically from the constraints imposed by the operational context of browser extensions and as a business enterprise it's focus on revenue generation cripples it as an effective tool in the technical sense. Additionally, it lacks much of the functionality one anticipates in the most simple of tools of any abstraction, such as the ability to directly and conveniently edit previously committed atomic text.
Also you guys' successful use of pdfs for offline preservation is intriguing and I find it interesting that it satisfies your needs, but I think it only half a solution.
I need something that can periodically and passively digest my annotated bookmarks semantically, producing a pool of 'hot terms', deep search the web for them in the background, and bring to my attention things that meet a configurable 'level of interest'.
Additionally I'd want such a system to be a core part of a personal research management tool that would integrate any content I might drop on it in the deliberate, overt sense as well.
