#2This looks pretty useful. A few feature requests:
- Import from delicious, to help get people started.
- An option to automatically add the tags from delicious as part of the text that you search, because many websites do not contain sufficient text to be findable without tags (ex: youtube videos with bad titles, direct links to images/other non-html content, etc)

#3wow, I was planning on making the exact same thing. I think this will be amazingly useful. Good luck!
Re: I created a bookmarking service you can love.
#4I read this at first as "I created a bookkeeping service you can love" which had me really excited. I'd like a bookkeeping service I can love.
Edit: This does look cool, though.

#5Okay, quick feedback. The first thing I looked for is the answer to "Public or private?" Privacy policy has this:
> We will also never share the content of your historified pages with anyone, although we might use the URLs of pages to compile anonymized lists of popular or new links. We will, however, never share any information about which pages you, personally, have historified.
I think that might be a mistake. You'll lose the ability to get people in for social networking/SEO reasons, and nobody trusts a service like this to stay private any more anyways. At first I thought, "Well, that's more useful because it's private" - and then I thought, "Who am I kidding? They'll just make it public anyways if they get big."
You might consider setting the default to public, maybe with an option for private.

#6Two suggestions:
* Add a private and public option for bookmarks. Then offer two bookmarklets one for private links, the other for public ones.
* Accept both username and email address when logging in. Otherwise 1Password users will not be able to login automatically.

First of all, thanks very much for your feedback!
To address your points, there are no plans for your bookmarks to be public, or have an option to show a page with them, either. The nature of the site doesn't lend itself to public bookmarks at all, as there is no list of bookmarks to publicise in the first place. To make it public we would have to add a search box for people to search in your bookmarks, which may or may not be useful...
I see what you mean about it, and I agree, but many people have said "I will never use this if I can't have privacy", so we listened to them. It might, however, be a typical case of the users not knowing what they want, because nobody seems to mind facebook...

Question: Are you building a fun tool for the good of humanity, or do you plan to make money at some point? From everything that I've seen, making a way to publicise a list of bookmarks could help you if you're going the latter route.

Yes, my first thought was, "I'd only use this if it's private" - my second thought was, "Wait, actually, I'd use it either way, pretty similarly, and there'd be additional value if it's public." I might see what people choose instead of what people say. People talk a lot and then do different things. Just something to think about, and congrats on launching a pretty cool service.
