That is a mistake on our part! We were thinking of charging and when we made the changes we planned on charging. Since then we have had a change of heart but have obviously forgotten to change that text - we will do that tonight!
With regard to the Delicious question - we get that a lot. Yahoo could be shutting Delicious down, which would be a bonus! But the best explanation I can give is if you are a visual person, like things laid out in a nice way and you also want to know what your friends are bookmarking then we are a good fit. We offer Twitter like functionality whereby you can follow people - and then therefore see what they are bookmarking. If PG signed up to Favilous, you could follow him and see what sites and articles he bookmarks - we think this is a cool feature which Delicious do not offer.
- DeusExMachina 16y agoSo, since you say you decided to change your monetization strategy, what will it be?
- sw007 16y agoWe have had some interest from businesses and academic organisations - they want their own bespoke version of Favilous. So currently we are working on this so that we give these organisations the ability to have their own bespoke version of Favilous - for a fee.
- vtail 16y agoThanks for your answer. I somehow missed the news that delicious is shutting down. Your positioning does make sense. A feature suggestion: when I upvote an article @ HN, I would certainly like it to be stored in my bookmarks somewhere :).
