A thing that would be useful: a streamlined mechanism for marking arbitrary things as 'raise to my attention later'. On tumblr if I'm looking at something and want to address it later (e.g. wait until I get home and have a real keyboard) I can DM it to myself; this is only convenient on tumblr and only to the extent I expect to continue using it (currently I do, but I am planning for eventualities). I can use calendars and alarms similarly but they are not perfect solutions

Currently I use "Stickies" by Zhorn Software for this purpose. They can be set to be on top of other windows or not, so you'll see them again when you next minimize some windows, and they have a "Sleep" function to make them disappear until a given time/until a duration has passed. If it's important, there's also an "Alarm" function so the sticky note will start shaking and flashing a bit, with optional sound.

interesting, but it seems desktop-only and 90% of the time my I have one of these problems my only available device is my phone (usually, the situation is 'I want to be remember to deal with this as soon as I have access to a real computer')

I also have exactly this problem, which is why I am continually vexed at Twitter leaving the bookmark feature mobile-exclusive.
