Password management - Security & Cryptography

While most of the discussion and existing password management tools are mainly around how to fetch some random hashed password, I wonder (just wondering, without much ideas or any evidence yet) if meaningful, plain-text password can be another option. For brute-force approaches I guess only the length of the password matters. For other people trying to guess your password, it would be very difficult if your password depends upon some random knowledge or fact that only you knows. For example, if I set my nixers.net password to be the title of my first post here, this would be considered extremely unsafe from a typical point of view, as the password is directly public available on the net. However, if I never ever tell anyone about this fact, it would be hard to guess the password, as the source of the password is somewhat chosen randomly, and only me knows about it. The best part about this approach is that you can easily remember all your passwords in mind, which is handy if you have to login to many different places every day.
