I wholeheartedly agree with the premise, but not necessarily the solution. I've been bookmarking crap for a very long time and even though I am extremely organized, I have ended up with a mess. One of these days I'm going to take the time to convert my bookmark export file into some format Google Refine can parse and clean things up. Synonyms, homonyms, singular and plural versions of the same tag, different conventions for handling multiword tags, etc. It's not pretty. Searching is great. I have a tendency, however, to bookmark indirect sources. So a HN comment thread gets indexed instead of an article. Not always helpful. Also searching isn't useful when you want to categorize things into some personal context (e.g. "Favorite Books" or "ReRead". I think the mentioned 'lists' solution might help here. Not sure hashtags are necessary. Reddit users have been bitching for tags since day one and the devs never gave in. I think this was a good decision, sometimes people ask for things that wouldn't work well in practice.
