Time travel with Social Bookmarks?

Some people have visual memories.  Others say that smell is the strongest stimulation for memory.  For me, I can remember the context in which a particular event occurred.  More specifically, I can often remember what I was doing, where I was, and all of that when I came across a website that was of interest.  In the past, this would lead to an inordinate amount of time trying to re-create my steps rather than doing my job.

Fortunately, with Social Bookmarks, I can now find the key words or phrases associated with a given url saved.  All I have to do is click on a tag, or series of tags and my list of items gets narrowed down to the key pieces of information I need -- ultimately saving time, and letting me tackle the work I need to do at a given moment. 

How does this relate to time travel?  Simple.  I recall that I ran across a website that had interesting information about a particular topic -- say "search."  I am then able to see other search related items and can see where in a timeline I saved them.  Being able to recall when, where, and that whole context in which I encountered the resource...I'm essentially walking back through time :-)

Loosely related, going back through one's bookmarks also helps me prevent the "Shiny Object Syndrome" that many of us face.  It's also a refreshing way to counter what may be a re-wiring of our brains thanks to the afore mentioned Shiny Object Syndrome
