Save arbitrary text or reminders, not only URLs
From 3 comments
Why only URLs ? Replace it with a textfield (140 Chars) and it is a reminder for everything. Auto-Conntect with Calendersoftware would be nice too.

rokhayakebe on HNGreat idea. Will add to the list :)

trustfundbaby on HNI agree. I just tag articles I throw in there, and when I need to reference something, I look for the appropriate article that I saved off.
