The "number of clicks" table and the pain described in the video (when you see a nice picture online, you'll want to navigate through a messy folder structure and save it to your filesystem) reeks of not having a good idea of the niche the product is trying to fill. The first is fallacious (I don't know how they count, by I can clip things to Evernote in two clicks and I don't think a long drag is necessarily better than two clicks), the second is just weird - non-social bookmarking is as old as the browser, it's called "bookmarks". The UI for the site just looks like Pinterest.

The problem with bookmarks is not whether i need 2 or 4 clicks - it's about sync, browser & device integration, search, temporary dumps with follow-up, intelligent tagging, storing an offline copy, read-later formatting, adding metadata and even credentials, compilations, research buckets, etc. Neither pinboard nor delicious have solved this for me and i doubt some fancy d&d tool will do it.

The clicks that are displayed in this table: http://dragd.is/K6xbz Are counted when you need to choose a particular folder, notebook, board. So with Evernote it's yes two clicks if you want to save it whatever the default place is, but if you want to choose a specific place it gets to 4-6 clicks!

Indeed. Will have I easy access to my data when the service is eventually sunset? Does it work on iOS/Android?

Those are the questions a service has to answer for it to leave its mark, IMO.

With Pocket, Kippt, Evernote to collect stuff in a organised fashion is 4-5 clicks. With dragdis it's 1 drag&drop! So main thing - simplicity

For me, with Pocket, it's usually two clicks, and typing a tag or two in between. Or one click when I just want to "read later" without bothering with organizing.

Clicking is so 2000-ish!
