we need so..oo more than saving "links" now. We need full text searchable full page archived. Maybe including the audio/video as well. Think the last time you saved a page on twitter/facebook but just few hours later the OP decided to delete or hide the post. And perhaps facebook-like graph search based on metadata extracted from page. E.g. search a archived page talking about presents published before 2013 Christmas, author's name is vaguely start with letter J, from website XYZ

I actually have considered doing this as a wordpress plugin. The amount of times I have linked to something only to have it die later and loose the content is quite high. A service to do this would be nice, although I cannot see myself paying for it so not sure how you would monetise.

  hosting could be solved by using third parties, like Dropbox, GDrive, etc. Actually you can monetize it well. You provide free crawler service (like parsing deep link pages to static ones), users save the content with their private storage provider, and you can sell service to another customer, $5 each at a time for retrieving a dead link

Take a look at our site, Clipular: https://www.clipular.com https://www.clipular.com We save full, searchable text with each "clip," and let you snap a box around whatever part of the page you'd like for your image. The image you clip is also shareable by itself, or as part of a board, if you make one. We don't have a graph search like you describe, but I'd be interested to hear more about your idea!

    We haven't monetized yet. I'd prefer to do a subscription plan with some pro features for workgroups. We're not comfortable with things like ads or selling data, and don't think that's a good long-term solution. Suggestions are always welcome!

      Work on it, it seems like a great idea you have there. Best of luck!

I've been using Diigo [0] for over a year (since switching from Delicious) and it works well for archiving pages and searching. For me its killer feature is being able to highlight passages on the page and add sticky notes to annotate what I'm reading. An archived page on its own would be useless if I couldn't remember why it was important. PDF annotation is coming soon. [0] http://www.diigo.com http://www.diigo.com

I use Linkdrop for my bookmarks and it does just what you're suggesting. It's still kind of small, sorta new-ish, but works perfect for what I need. http://www.linkdrop.com/ http://www.linkdrop.com/ Here are some of the things it does: - Permanently stores the link and its full content within seconds - Takes a screenshot of the page - Saves the entire HTML for full text searching (like a private search engine of just your links) - If the bookmark points to a file it downloads a backup copy of the file - Creates a backup copy of YouTube and other videos that I drop to myself so that I never lose them (This is the feature I upgraded to a paid account for because free accounts get lower quality video backups and it's the same with screenshots. I wanted high quality everything.) - Connects to Dropbox and copies all of my bookmarks, screenshots, and video / file backups to a folder in Dropbox - Lets me email links to myself to save them - Lets me share with other people who have an account - Notifies me with a text when somebody else sends me a link (I use this all the time, I get random links from people throughout the day) - Lets me organize, filter, and sort my links like an inbox specifically for links - Emails me a list of links I've received at a regular interval - Has a Pinterest-style grid view option - Works on my phone - Can send links to Facebook and Twitter at the same time through it - Can save links with one click using bookmarklets for my folders There's more, but those are the main features that I think make it worth using. Check out the site to see a better feature list. It does exactly what I need it to by acting as an endpoint for my links. If I want to save something and make sure I can find it again later I drop it to myself on Linkdrop which also backs it up to Dropbox. Very useful in my opinion.
