Lot of negativity in the comments. Maybe power users don't use bookmarks as much. But I have seen people using browser auto-complete with a mouse. There is a lot that can be done when it comes to empowering the regular user to use web better.

#32The UI is very very slick, saw them a few weeks back featured as one of the twitter bootstrap example apps. Reminds me of the warm fuzzy feeling I got when I first used Path. I especially like the introduction flow for connecting accounts (fb, twitter) and the call to action to install the browser extension in the end. kudos.
Yup this is a really good example. Only thing I didn't understand was I signed up with FB so I had a verified e-mail address, yet they asked me to put one in - the default of my FB one would have been a little bit better
I found that annoying too when signing up with Twitter, if I knew I would still have to create a username and provide an email address I would have skipped signing in with Twitter.

#33Nice use of bootstrap, but modifying it on the homepage as well. Great design.
Thanks! Bootstrap has been a big help for us
I discovered Kippt through the front page of Bootstrap (it's one of the main thumbnails - I would say the best looking thumbnail - under "Built With Bootstrap"). Has that been a good source of users for you guys? Or not at all?

#34The best bookmarking experience I've had was with PowerMarks (commercial product by Kaylon, long discontinued).
Anyone doing bookmarking would serve themselves by having a look at it -- even though today everything seeks to be "as a service" as opposed to a local application.
