Are these links that you’re saving to read? Or is this more a way of journaling the links you’ve already read?

Usually I've read them - or at least skimmed them - first. Occasionally I haven't, either because the headline really is enough (ie, virtually all global warming articles where the headline says something like "warming inevitable", okay, got it, don't need to get gloomy about our impending doom) or because I suspect other people will find it more interesting than I did or because I do intend to get to it later.
