This seems to be a sensible way of making it really easy for people to share things in a way that makes sense to them, just by tagging them. At the moment they're just shown as text links, but if that mechanism takes off (and if it makes sense) it would be easy to auto-generate full video embeds for each bookmarked page that looks like a video. For now, the idea is that people click on the sidebar links anyway, and one of the authors will eventually notice the good stuff and use it as a source. I've given Nick attribution on Speechification for <a href="http://speechification.com/2007/12/09/listen-against/" rel="nofollow">a post I made inspired by one of his bookmarks</a>.

Greasemonkey, or a plugin to do the work would be the best.
