Nice work. Signed up. I agree with @thejash - Any chance we can import bookmarks from Delicious etc?
Okay, 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…
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…
I wonder if you asked them if they wanted to be able to share with others?
One last thing.
You won't get anything out of asking users.
What you will get something out of is asking customers.
Fast site. What environment are you using? Also, on the page with the instructions I think the instructions should be at the top. People are less concerned with the other stuff.
Thanks for your feedback!
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't answer your first question: We use a Linode in Georgia, so if you're near there it should be pretty fast (their servers are quite fast too).
1. In my Historious settings, add my Delicious feed URL
2. Find a cool link and add it via the Delicious bookmarklet
3. Historious polls the feed, picks up the new link, and grabs the page
Now I have the best of both worlds:
1. If I want to see a list of my URLs, I can browse them via Delicious.
2. If I want to search the saved page data, I can do so via Historious.

I am pretty sure this is a case of users not knowing the difference. I wonder if you asked them if they wanted to be able to share with others? One last thing. You won't get anything out of asking users. What you will get something out of is asking customers.
As others have mentioned, Delicious import would be handy. Even better, however, would be to take it a step further and automatically import on an on-going basis. This would achieve the following workflow: 1. In my Historious settings, add my Delicious feed URL 2. Find a cool link and add it via the Delicious bookmarklet 3. Historious polls the feed, picks up the new link, and grabs the page Now I have the best of bo…

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated! The point of the site is to not have lists of bookmarks, though, so you can add many many sites and then find them easily. I find that, if I have a list, I tend to either try and keep it tidy or, if I don't, I just get frustrated and never look at it. We wanted historious to never show you the extent of your bookmarks, and to just give you the info you want transpa…
Ok, I like the idea of a private service. It makes sense. However: * Convince me that this will remain private, forever. * Assure me that this will remain in business. You can do this in two ways: 1) Charge me $10 a year. 2) Provide an export function from the get go.
Pinboard's a pretty amazing Delicious alternative. One-time signup fee of $6, but very much worth it. http://pinboard.in/
I'm sure there' something unique about your service, I'd highlight it more right there on the front page, specifically for Delicious users, since it's proven that they like this type of service and you need to concentrate on converting them.
