Yes a dislike button is a must! I thought the star was me favouriting a tweet. I can see it but the person who's tweet is can't see that I have done that. I could be wrong though and like you say Facebook like is not for everyone anyway.

If I like something in Facebook then only the person who's status it is sees that like. It does not appear in my stream to all my friends. If I RT something on Twitter then I am saying that I want all my followers to see this status. I don'

The Facebook Status and the Twitter status are fundamentally the same thing. You are telling the world what is on your mind. The like functionality in Facebook is a means of communication - someone clicks like and says I like your opinion o

I appreciate that it is not for everyone, but given how many people use the Facebook like functionality do you think that this could not carry over to Twitter and be equally effective?

That FAQ is almost exactly what we want to offer. I have completely different bookmarks at work to what I do at home. People at work would find my browser bookmarks really useful but some of these are sensative and have no place in the clou

Yes that is more or less it. If for example you work for a company and have company based bookmarks - you could create a work network (like Yammer) and you can then bookmark just like you would normally with say Delicious - add tags, catego

I am not sure we can to be honest. The site will run itself and will not need much in the way of support. We imagine the user may be willing to pay a fee for a number of benefits that they will get from the site. However, if I put myself in

Yes that sounds the way to go - see above for the type of site I am offering. You are right - freemium seems the buzz at the moment. I was even thinking of a novel payment model like Radiohead (the music band) have done in England whereby t

That's great thanks. You are right - I prefer to pay a one off fee but I know of people who are happy to pay small monthly sums and so I think it is logical to offer both.

Thanks for this. Yeah I have been doing a lot of reading around and have found there to be no magic formula - you are right there a lot of factors that will influence my decision. I would show the site to get a proper discussion going but i

I saw this earlier and this is why I think a co-founder should be a friend. 'What is a friend? I will tell you...it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself." This is so important when working together, you need to be able to tell them

This is just brilliant! Great work! I think you should be able to click the quote to go to the next one rather than having to go to the bottom of the page and click refresh. Other than that I loved it!

Thanks very much for this. I can see that quite a few people are struggling with the playing of the tour - we will have to make this more obvious. I don't think Prezi offer an easy autoplay option. You are right with regard to the user expe

One of our ideas that we are thinking of is 'work networks' - very much like Yammer. We aim to position ourselves, in the next couple of months or so, as a Yammer for bookmarking. We will still offer the same 'personal service' for our user

Used a neat tool called Prezi to do it - very cool site, check it out! We wanted a tour that was a bit different and one that matched our ideals - I.E. very visual..

That is a fair point - these bullet points are our key sellers and this is something that people felt we had failed to do last time we posted. Do the bullet points give you a flavour of what the site is/does?

Funny you should say that. We are rolling out a bunch of features in the next week or so and this is one of them! Along with some enhancements to our bookmarking tools...So just to clarify you would like to click 'view it later' and it woul

With regard to your first comment I will look into this and try and fix it - works fine in IE, Firefox and Chrome (I believe) but I thought that to be true of Safari too. I will look into it and fix it. With regard to your second comment -

That's a great post (the T-shirt one). I think you are right - it does belong on a Reddit type site. I find it really frustrating that there is not a hacker news type service but for creative writers. I love startups but I also like to blog

Would you pay for Pinboard? Say if you could also bookmark Spotify playlists (as an example)?
