I'm wondering who needs a bookmarking app in 2013, let alone pay for it.
Perhaps there is a use case outside mine? I also don't give an iota of a shit about socially sharing my bookmarks.

"Tinmark now offers a free trial" would certainly be more honest, but we all know how titles and headlines work.
Hi ch0wn (and moioci) co-founder here, The reason we didn't call it a "free trial" is because you can still keep using the service after 30 days. Some SAAS products have free plans that have caps on the amount of data you can create. We're basically saying the cap of data for the free plan is whatever you create in the 30 days -- that could be hundreds or thousands of bookmarks. You'll still have access to everything…

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I agree. Google has had their bookmarks service since 2005, and I don't even use that. Standard import/ export and attach the file is all I've ever needed. Perhaps there is a use case outside mine? I also don't give an iota of a shit about socially sharing my bookmarks.

Since you will eventually be limiting the core functionality I would say it is more appropriate to say it is a free trial with persistent, exportable data.
I think this entire line of discussion is coming from a place of thinking way too much about it. Tinmark's cofounder's answer above is exactly what I was going to say. There's nothing dishonest about and below the headline there are 3 lines of text that very clearly state what a user would be getting. There's nothing ambiguous about the explanation.

But yeah pay for one... you'd have to have a special need to pay for one. For reference the one I have been using and enjoy is Kippt (https://kippt.com)
HOWEVER their latest update has broken login on Safari if someone from kippt reads this please please fix it so I can use it on my ipad :)

Cross-platform access is the killer feature for me (with Pinboard). I frequently need to access my bookmarks on systems that aren't my own, so these sorts of services are quite handy.

> seems like it'd convert really well. Yeah, I'm looking at a similar 'mothballware' plan (for want of a better term) at a similar price point for something I'm currently building. I'd be interested to hear of others' experience of it. Yes, there's a risk of it seeming like you're cutting off something people are using, but if they're that invested in it, hopefully they won't mind chipping in a modest amount now they…
No apology necessary, I'm at work, ill. Bronchitis. Totally understand. I don't know what you mean by mothballware. Care to elaborate? I don't think there's a risk of seeming like you're cutting people off. So long as you're up-front with people when they sign up then there's no problem with this. The value is in the ability to add and edit your bookmarks. Being able to access them later is trivial if you're looking…
On reflection, it's a pretty lame term I tried to coin there. I was looking for something that expressed the idea that after a certain period of time, accounts that weren't dormant would need paying for before in order to be used properly again, so a bit like them being mothballed (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define%3A%20mothballed) and unmothballed when eventually paid for.
Like I said, lame term. Am sure there's a better word out there that'll come to me when my head is clear.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what the marketing department's first choice was. I think this entire line of discussion is coming from a place of thinking way too much about it.
