+'''Concept'''
+* The opening to your problem statement is good, but try to stay on track more. You start mixing topics right away--from browser limitations to information overload.
+* Try to avoid saying "of course" as if every one has the same opinion or is following your thoughts. Also don't make assumptions about users without backing up your statements. ("Very very few people really need offline webapps...")
+* There are other systems that have been looking at the problem you indicate. I'd like to hear about what you've come across, even if they incomplete or experimental solutions. Google Chrome, for instance, let's users sync bookmarks between browsers (which addresses at least part of the problem).
+* It doesn't sound like you did any research. Even if you don't have time for that, you can at least do something structured, like a heuristic evaluation. Right now it just sounds like your own unproven opinion, which isn't convincing.
+* The essence of your project is incomplete and too high level. It's important to be able to communicate your idea clearly and succinctly.
+Overall, you've identified some real problems (and challenges) with the current state of bookmarks. There's an opportunity to make things better. I'd like to hear more details about your idea and designs, but unfortunately they are not available on this wiki as I'm writing this (date: 7 March 2011).
