When I tried to confirm my email, I get redirected to: http://zukmo.com/register.html?err=rk_invalid Also, If I try using the twitter button on that page to login, It throws the following error when it redirects to http://www.zukmo.com/twitter?oauth_token=_____________ "java.lang.NullPointerException"

Did you click on the confirm email link twice? The first time you click it, the email is confirmed. The next time, we should show a message saying your email is already confirmed. But, we have a bug that doesn't show the message and redirects you to the register page. We will recreate this issue and get it fixed ASAP. Do let us know if you are unable to login.

thanks. seems to work now.

Any plans on using the structure of one's bookmark files to tag bookmarks being imported?

I've got a ton of folders categorized properly viz. A Scripting folder with sub folders like PHP / JavaScript / Python etc. Would love to see those translate out to tags ..

Search works well. Yes, the auto-categorization needs some tweaking, but I don't see that as the key benefit. Automatic indexing of destination content - that's what's really useful about Zukmo. The comment on highlighting this benefit is quite relevant in this context!

I consume more information offline than online .. I think. Plan to make this a desktop utility as well, something that integrates with the desktop that allows you to right-click and "Zukmo" any given file. Even if you have to fake it by copying files to a temp directory and later sync them with your servers (why? better keep it private on users' machines.) You will need integration with (MS|Open) Office sometime in t…

mahmud, as of now, we are concentrating on the online part of it. Making a desktop utility would be a something we may look at sometime in the future.

Problems here on Ubuntu/Firefox. No problem with the account set-up. No problem with the Firefox plug-in install.

When I try to add this page, I get the "Adding this page..." but after a few seconds I get another window that has "Zukmo" at the top in large text, but the window is not large enough to contain further text. This latter window disappears after a second or less.

I think the window is asking me to log-in. But I am logged in to Zukmo.

One further thing. Forcing an icon into the status bar without the option to switch it off is a show-stopper for me. It's a decision that doesn't scale. If every plug-in did this, then the status bar would be a mess and its usefulness reduced.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is totally off-topic, but how do they make the text on their webpage look so good? Is that a CSS thing?

If you're referring to the white shadow of the text, it is indeed css. text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px white;

Thank you for the tip. I've always wondered how to make the fonts look engraved on the page.

auxbuss, we haven't yet tested on Ubuntu. Will do that. Also, do you happen to have a script blocker on it, like no-script?

Option to switch off is a good idea. We will add it soon.

A couple more items. There's no option to disable Twitter once enabled. There's no option to delete your account.

Thanks, auxbuss. The option to disable Twitter/Facebook after they are enabled as well as ability to delete your account are in the to-do list.

Thanks. We will rework the messaging on the landing page and other pages.
