I don't see the value add over the many existing bookmarking services. What am I missing?

Well, it embeds multimedia into the page and it has a more readable, less cluttered design compared to Delicious.

Looks nice, but again...: * another closed source service ? * Are there import/export options ? * There is not even a RSS feed ? Sorry for looking like parasiting a topic, but I need to rant: I'm sick of close-source online bookmarking services, especially when I can't import/export all my data. So I'm moving away from them. I want to have control. This my data. I developed my own bookmarking application, Shaarli (op…

How many services are there where you can't import/export your data? I run one (http://historio.us/) and import/export has been available from day 1, it's pretty much the most requested feature after actual storage of bookmarks.

IMHO, I think Klipbook is more streamlined, visually and functionally.

Also, with Klipbook other people can discover your links (and eventually will be able to follow them).

Have you tried setting up a new Tumblr (they throw in a minimalist theme to start) and use its bookmarklet to gather the links? Bookmarking cannot be more minimalist than that.

How is this different to pinboard? except for the embedded multimedia. For me pinboard has the whole package in terms of features. Especially being able to search a tag and see other people's bookmarks. Not sure why I would switch to this though.

Other than that I think its a nice project.

Network-wide searching is a feature on the to-do (once there are enough users to make it worthwhile).

Well here's my account: http://klipbook.net/brainfilter I was going for a minimalist home page, but I'll probably end up create a "tour video" to embed on the home page.

What I assume is your user bio is in the wrong place. Because it's placed under the logo, I assumed it was the general description of the site and led to me asking 'who are you?'. It should be placed under your username.

Also, why do you hate religion?

I used to be a delicious user. Their export was broken for several months, and they did not show signs of wanting to fix it. I had to write a Python script to backup my data by parsing their HTML pages.

Regarding Diigo, their Firefox extension sends every visisted URL to their server. Thanks for the respect of my privacy.

Enough is enough.
