Agreed. I'm not sure what this gets me that http://pinboard.in/popular/ http://pinboard.in/popular/ doesn't already provide.

  What briarpatch does differently is you don't have to use a javascript bookmarklet. With the briarpatch chrome extension, you can just bookmark sites the way you normally do and it works behind the scenes without you having to think about it.

    Sorry, I meant as a "way to discover high quality content on the web". For bookmarking: I get that briarpatch is hooking into the browser, and I see how that's interesting but I'm way into pinboard and it's ability to automatically collect and full-text index every link I put on the web (e.g. twitter, google reader, reddit, browsing, hn)

      Yeah, pinboard is definitely good for collecting everything. However, we don't want briarpatch to collect everything that someone posts on all of these sites because it would lead to content pollution (like you see with most content discovery sites these days). We want briarpatch to thoroughly limit the ways content is collected. Whether this experiment work or not remains to be seen. But thanks for your feedback!
