Smart Automatic Bookmarks.

View on HN

In looking through my options for transitioning away from delicious, Favbot is the one that has we genuinely excited.

If it works in the way that it's described and works well, I daresay I'd consider switching even without delicious' impending doom. The analytics are especially interesting for a stats addict like myself.

I just hope the invite wait isn't too long.

Thanks. Invite wait won't be long.

Favbot looks like it'll be my Delicious replacement. The fact that it's passive/ automatic is neat!

I'm not convinced about auto tagging services. The reason why tagging is so great is because the taxonomy is in your head not decided by a machine. Tags are literally bookmarks for your brain, if you're not making the tags - they're bookmarks for a machine (which are then hard to browse/cluster content by.)

Did you really just make me sign up only to tell me you're going to send me an invite sometime in the mysterious future? Ugh.

It is not vaporware. Most of it is done. You will get an invite soon. Limiting them to ensure quality.

Why does it say "Signup For Free Now" if I'm not signing up for the service? You should make it "Signup For An Invite" or something. (I just noticed it says next to it about invites, and on the right on the next page - but no one reads that.)
