Some kind of introduction from the devs would be nice. I'm not going to register just to see how it works.

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.

I think it's good overall. I specially like the idea of your links being public so that people can see what you are doing.

Is there a way to input links to Klipbbok externally. Like a plugin or bookmarlet?

I have a developer working on a bookmarklet. In a few weeks I hope to have an API ready for apps, browser extensions, etc.

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 (opensource, bookmarklet, html import/export, private links, tag cloud, picture wall, "daily" digest and many other features). http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:shaarli

My own instance is: http://sebsauvage.net/links/

I don't say hosted services are bad, but I'm definitely done with them.

RSS functionality and exporting will be available in a little while.

I wanted users to be able to import Delicious links upon sign-up but my developer ran into some trouble with the Delicious API limits. So I'm looking into alternatives.

(Perhaps I'll need to get users to export their Delicious links and upload them to Klipbook. -- If anybody have any suggestions or alternatives, I'd love to hear them.)

Good to know you're working on it.

In my experience, Netscape bookmarks html export worked better. But even then I experienced a lot of broken exports from online bookmarking services. This is a pain. Good luck with that.
