Great idea! I'm reminded of http://www.allmyfaves.com/ (although you've obviously improved on their concept dramatically). If you're looking for a way to monetize your project, I believe they do pretty well just off of affiliate links (for the ecommerce sites).

Thank you, that's very kind. Also that links rocks, I didn't know it. Good idea for monetization. About that, I was thinking vaguely about customization (wallpaper, color scheme, buttons, icons etc.) - in case this site is worth one cent for at least one user.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you, your feedback is very valuable. May I ask you which piece of software do you use for that?

For my bookmarks, I got lazy and now just use Firefox/TenFourFox/Iceweasel with a local sync server. So, I use Firefox's system, which allows for hierarchical and tag-based organization, and searching based on title. Prior to that, I used Delicious, which also had tags, and searching. I can't speak for anyone else, but these days I use bookmarking as a contingency, in case I remember later and need or want the link t…

Very interesting. Is there two typical usages, or a continuum whose two poles are what you describe? Do you never use again bookmarks as you did?

I thought a little bit about sharing and social but I didn't see exactly yet how it works, but I will work on that of course. Your comments will definitely help me to orient things, thank you so much for them.

Really like it, few bugs though:

You can drag an item to below the fold and it extends the screen and adds a scrollbar. This then causes the logout and the number (which is?) next to it to stack looking weird.

It's weird having to drag a select box to select only one item. Took me a minute to figure out you could even do that (remembered it was based off desktop) but before I was grabbing one, moving it, and then dropping which leaves it selected before I could delete.

Folders have a %20 in the name at the top once you enter them, but no on the icon display.

That should be a %20 for spaces.

Seems you can't drag items into folders/memorypools or out of them yet either.

Oh I see. A long click should also select and not open, as well as holding control and then click. I'm still trying to figure out how I will expose these information to a new user.

That's true, I'm implementing that. Thank you for your feedback:)

Nice one. Can we have a bookmarklet or chrome extension for this? Just a click and the website should be added. I'm using G+'s +1 for this so far.

"Can we have a bookmarklet or chrome extension for this?"

Yes we can :) Thanks for your suggestion.
