I think the name Pocket is absolutely perfect. It lends itself to a really clear and understandable marketing slogan ("Don't have time to read it now? Just put it in your Pocket!") but also leaves room for how the company might grow and expand in the coming years. "What else can you put in your Pocket?" I'm sure they have that written on a whiteboard in their office with 30 bulleted items below it detailing what they…

I made a similar tool for remembering things. It's also called Pocket. I shared it on HN a year and a half ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2112144 glad I chose a good name :)

It sucks, the old version was much better.

I can only agree. It was one of my most used apps. I added a load of postings, just to quickly filter through them.

now: everytime, i try to save a thing to pocket, using their new bookmarklet (or using the old read it later one), I get a promt, to login. and I am already logged in.

Thanks a lot for breaking one of the things that really added value to my phone.

So I`m on my way, have to go. Have to delete an account and an app.

Goodbye, you won't come to my "pocket"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Some web devs (like me! :D) are lazy and make the tag always just the website's name.

As someone who writes an html content extractor, you have no idea how much I hate you.

Oh I hate myself too. I can't distinguish the tabs.
