This is shameless plug, but... The startup that I'm at is working in a similar space. We're devoting a lot of resources to being able to easily search (from Google) your links, as well as share them. May be useful if you used Kippt, https://www.kifi.com/ Disclaimer: Again, I work there, but I really like what we are building. :)

This is awesome – jealous I didn't think of it first. Well done.

Edit: Spoke to soon. Not a fan of sending every page I visit to you guys [1].

Hear you loud and clear. We're working on a strategy so that it's not needed. Right now, that information is used only to determine if you or a friend has kept a page, or if you have previous conversations on the page.

That's some http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com material right there.

What would you write in the same circumstances?

I'm all for light-hearted snark, but this doesn't call for it. They were honest about their failure, promised to keep their service going for people that still value it and then graciously moved on.

Idk but I would try to avoid using the words 'journey' and 'humbling' at all costs.

Can't it just be a hash of the URI?

Checked out the demo, looks great! I am sorry it didn't work out like you hoped, but I'm glad you landed in a nice spot.

Would you mind sharing your lessons learned? Such as, why you think it "failed" to take off like you hoped? What were your plans/expectations vs what actually happened? Any critical mistakes or major external factors which impeded success? Anything you would have done differently?

Thanks, and good luck in your new venture!
