Ask PG: Can we have a feature to save links in Hacker News?

It is often near impossible to find useful links back after a few days.

Reddit has a feature where you can save a link. It would be very helpful to have this same functionality in HN. I know there's heaps of services like Del.icio.us and Ma.gnol.ia, but in the vain of keeping things simple.

    Are you talking about comment links? Upvoting saves normal submissions, which is part of the philosophy.

    Install the del.icio.us browser extension and tag 'em YCHN. Using an existing service that works well is simpler than cloning the site piece-by-piece.

    Or, there's this thing... that most browsers already have built in.

    Bookmarks?
