This is soooo spooooooky... for a week or so I've been thinking of asking here aloud if there was some absolute-minimum-interaction web-bookmarking service, one that didn't require logging in for cumulative saving/ submitting items, but mere press on a customized bookmarklet (... what held me back from asking was unwillingness to admit ignorance is such simple matters ;-(()

And then I see this, kind of Answered Prayers App[tm]: http://www.instapaper.com/

I say merely "kind of," because, while fuctionally (="ease-of-usewise") it certainly fits the no-interaction bill, the Instapaper service itself is but a proof-of-concept instance, as there are no guarantees one's bookmarks will live "forever," or be easy to find later once one's list grows in size. Indeed, as per the FAQ, it is not intended to be anything but a bottomless LIFO-order list, with no options for later pruning/ sorting/ editing/ searching. All of which ARE badly needed for any cumulative saving of such "webmarks" (cumulative as in "over several years").

So my quest remains: is there some such unintrusive web-bookmarking service?
