So it's basically a tool to apply some kind of GTD-like productivity system to your procrastination??

I've seen the video and read the blurb, but I still don't "get" it. Can someone gimme a use case where this would instantly make sense, cause if I'm understanding correctly, just basic tagging with my bookmarks achieves the same thing (easy to find, share, categorize per projects, etc.)

  Glad I'm not on the only one who wasted time on this without immediately "getting it". Sounds like the message needs to be clarified a bit. Or maybe this isn't that compelling of a business case? I doubt I would pay $5 a month for this.

  I know me too posts are generally frowned upon, but this was the exact issue I personally found as well. The About Us page doesn't give me any information on the company itself, what it does, the video didn't really clarify anything. To me it just seems like it is delicious with some added features that allows bookmarks to easily be shared between team members for a project. While cool, I am not sure I would pay for a service such as that ...

  For what looks to be a GTD-focused app (guessing?), the website description is surprisingly lackadaisical; rather far away from a GTD-focused package. Six web pages into a pretty (and slow) web site, and I still can't sort out why I'd even want it. The product is apparently (arguably) competing with MobileMe syncing, various Firefox extensions, Gmail, Instapaper and (based solely on the number of times the word is used) Delicious. And I don't see how it's better than any of that.

I tried to sign up, but the signup page failed horribly on my Android phone. Textfields accepted input but didnt show it and the accept terms checkbox was uncheckable. Call me biased, but I suspect there are more android-phones out there than iPads. Prioritize differently ;)

    My point was really that this is plain old HTML and should degrade gracefully. Currently Im not able to sign up on a modern webkit-based browser and that's not too flattering for a otherwise rather simple webpage.

It's okay if your name doesn't do anything to help me understand what your company does, but when that is the case it's important that your website should make the benefits statement clear to me.

I was going to thank them for the dark background, great relief to my eyes, but then I "flipped the page" with the UI thingie on the right and "ouch".

I don't see a link to free premium. How do I get it ?
- ppolsinelli 16y ago
  Just enroll.

  Should be automatic on registration (wtf no + sign in my email??). You can verify by going to settings -> licence.
  - sayno2quat 16y ago
    It is only client-side verification. I used tamper data and a url-encoder, and I was able to get a + sign in my email (and the verification email was sent with no problem). But yeah, it's annoying when companies try to make their own email parser and get it completely wrong.

Ouch ... I just tried to signup, and got a 503 error when I tried to confirm my account. HN effect? :)
- maguay 16y ago
  And it's back. I got signed in with my new account, and I checked the settings to see what account it gave me. It says: "Your premium license expires on: Saturday October 01, 2140 ... and good luck." Guess I'll need the good luck to live to see the end of my premium license!
- ppolsinelli 16y ago
  Yes - should be fine now.

"When you enroll in Licorize you get two months of free premium usage. You can any time upgrade to Premium. When your Premium plan expires, you don't loose any data inserted." http://licorize.com/applications/licorize/site/pricing.jsp http://licorize.com/applications/licorize/site/pricing.jsp? Apparently it's not a free premium account, it's a free TRIAL premium account. Also, not knowing the difference between lose and loose does not inspire confidence when you're trying to get me to open up my wallet.
- jlake 16y ago
  It will become a free trial premium for those enrolling from tomorrow. Today its really free.
