Abstract
Systems, methods, routines and/or techniques for a local mobile memo for non-interrupting link noting are described. One or more embodiments may include a method that may include displaying to a user a page containing a link, receiving a first user input that indicates the link should be saved for potential later processing and saving the link to a local repository so that the link can be processed later. The saving may occur while the page continues to be displayed. The saving may occur without processing the link to perform the associated action. The method may include displaying a list (e.g., including the link) of one or more links saved in the repository, for example, in response to an event that indicates that the user may be interested in viewing links in the link repository.
