I think the Memex is the post-Wikipedia way to save things, especially those that need to be resistant to censorship. A browser (or proxy for one), that downloads everything, and stores it locally in a giant buffer.
If you've decided what you saw was interesting, and want to save it for later, you simply bookmark it, and perhaps annotate it. Doing so will increase the reference count from 1 (seen it) to 2 (seen it, and noted something about it)
Once disk space gets tight, anything with a reference count of 1 can be purged, oldest first.
Sharing something with someone will simply involve a dump of the content and the annotations, as with the original Memex and dump to microfilm.
