One of the best habits for my bookmark tagging system is:

* Include where/who you got to the link from (if not just a web search)

For instance, I just tagged something "via-mastodon" (that's a big tag in my collection :) ).

I also do "via-personname" if it's someone I know.

Provenance, baby.

Thanks @brennen for being who I learned that trick from.

@Greg @brennen

nice. when I used delicious (and then subsequently pinboard) a lot, I would tag with via-name and for-name so that I could track not just where I heard stuff but also who I liked to share things with.

@w8emv @Greg @brennen I did the same thing! And was inspired before reading the comments just now to see if it's still there, and.... it is! Well, if I need to know who sent me a link 12 years ago, I'm good.
