For me the future of bookmarks was just to re-Google. But somehow over time that became less effective.

Now it is Evernote. With the Chrome plug-in for Google search integrated it works very well.

Why have bookmarks, clips, articles, other notes spread all over different services?

I like keeping the ownership of my data as much as I can. Also, I find Evernote really painful to use, especially for bookmarks. I had experienced it a while ago; coming from Delicious at that time; and I had found it painful and badly integrated in the browser.

Chrome and Firefox's URL/omni-bars will pull up partial match results for bookmarks.

As such, the benefit outlined by the grandparent post is available without having to hand that information over to a third party, unless you opt into a cross-device or cross-browser bookmark syncing service.
