I like the copy on your homepage. Last year I built a prototype of a similar service and used it for a couple of months with friends, but it turned out that not having immediate feedback takes a lot of fun out of sharing. Posting a link to Skype and having a conversation about it in real time feels much more rewarding. It's something psychological, hard to explain.
Having said that, I still want to explore this idea some time in the future and see how it works out.

- freshlog 15y agoYea, I totally agree that sharing links without a chance of a conversation springing from it can feel like a bummer. This is one of the reasons why I decided for Handpick to send a single email to all people in a single group, so anyone can Reply-to-All and get a conversation started. I've been using Handpick to keep in touch with my friends, loved ones and folks I care about it for close to a year this way, hope you'll find it useful too =)
- freshlog 15y agoI tried yourpane.com, which emails you a unique link that you use to login each time, replacing the username and password challenge, is this a good idea? I'm using GMail/Google account login coupled with regular username and passwords for Handpick.
