Thanks for the feedback. Do you think these experts have thousands of actual bookmarks or just thousands of links on these other platforms? Because it seems to me that people don't want to pollute their own bookmark collections, and will only bookmark something that they see as being a cut above the rest. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Well, it depends. Some people use bookmarks as favorites, and you want to keep your favorites compact so they're not messy, but other people use bookmarks as a research tool and bookmark everything they may want to refer to later, either personally or for a blogpost. Same reason people favorite tweets: not because they're oh-so-special, but because they want to keep them around. I have about ~350 links tagged journalism on Delicious, and I consider all of those to be a cut above the rest.
