> It's just that you repeatedly mention that your main aim is to have a service that will last for ever; but there's nothing different in your service (apart from your intentions) that will guarantee that. Basically, your asking people to trust you on that one. You didn't answer this point; and honestly I don't mean to offend you or imply your intentions are suspect - I don't know you at all, so I can't judge. But that's exactly the problem - how do you persuade ppl like me to trust you? Compare the situation to wordpress.com vs blogger/tumblr/closed-source-blog-platform. I always look to the former first because I know it's so easy for me to move my blog onto one of many wordpress-supporting hosts or my own server if I need to, and thus I feel the longeveity of my site is guaranteed much more. You could be in the same situation, if you Open Source it and several people ran your software as a host. That would make it easy for users to switch - and then you have a much better and practical guarantee for users that it will stick around in some form. Anyway, last comment I'll make as obviously it's your choice in the end; but that's what I think. And I do need to look at an Open Source bookmarking service soon :-)
