#32you really need to change the name - not sure about here in the US, but anything with "prick" in it to any english schoolboy is giggle-worthy.
I think some in the US might laugh at "prick" by itself but "thumb prick" would be fine.

#33Neat idea. Couple of comments:
1) Maybe include some text to go with the video on the landing page.
2) The name made me think of a glucometer, not bookmarks. JS.

#34Regardless of the product itself, I think the name alone is going to turn people off.
I assumed it had something to do with diabetes -- an online glucose tracker, for example. The fact that it was invite-only made me think "oh, they're trying to create a community for diabetics."
It looks good, though. I'll check it out shortly.

#35This looks pretty cool, I'm a happy Pinboard user but my bookmarks toolbar is still full of stuff I want to check later on but don't want clutter up my Pinboard with. I was able to sign up and install the Chrome extension, but clicking the extension's button on my toolbar does nothing. No login dialog or anything, nothing at all happens. Then I tried to see if I could play with the web interface, but there's no link…
Yeah sorry about that, it is a little buggy! After installing, just go to google, then click on the icon in your browser bar and it should work.

#36A nice focused product, targeting a problem that every browser user has. The question is how big a problem is this? It would be great if it can analyze the links and mine some value out of it
Re: Introducing Thumbprick [video]
#37This is a beautiful, visionary optimization of something that desperately needs work. Bookmarks are a hilariously shitty way of organizing knowledge, and without them, you only have information. Yet. The problems addressed aren't the problems I have. I'm wondering what kind of UX research was done putting this together. To me it looks like the research was hyper-focused, and didn't give the subjects enough scope to a…
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback!

#38I really like the minimalist design and I would totally use this but for some reason, I'm unable to drag links into collections on Chrome. I drag the link into the collection and I get redirected back to the original page but nothing ever gets added.
Also, I would love a way to easily delete or move multiple links at once.

#39I see no reason to move away from OneTab as a way to manage my huge backlog of links, as well as a few starred and/or named 'groups'.
That said, I really like the presentation and Thumbprick seems like a nice idea. I just don't see the need right now. Anything that is more important than what I use OneTab for, I store in Notational Velocity.
Maybe look into OneTab for some extra inspiration?

The notion of "clutter[ing] up my Pinboard" is interesting to me. Thanks to searching and tagging, I'm quite happy to toss anything into Pinboard if I might want to find it again. I don't even use my browser's bookmarks.
(I actually use Pocket for things I want to check on later... everything in Pocket also gets added to Pinboard)
