Simplified bookmarking

saved.io

Great timing! I was looking for a bookmark service last week.

I love the UI here, but the service does not provide much functionality.

1. How do I re-order the list? 2. How do I re-name the bookmark? 3. Does Saved.IO provide any list functionality or do I browse down a long list of 300 bookmarks? 4. This service needs 'tags' (i.e. shopping, banking, school, etc.) 5. The delete button is too close to the bookmark (especially considering it lacks a 'Are You Sure?' prompt). I've accidentally deleted three links already on mobile. 6. The 'added [x length of time] ago' provides no function and adds clutter. 7. I've already have a few issues with it saving numerous bookmarks for a single page.

I want to love this service. Convince me! :)

Grapesoda, I don't want to hijack this thread, but I want to give you another bookmarking alternative. Take a look at my submissions!

I like that they're making use of URLs in an interesting way. IMHO these Web services (reminds me of http://deturl.com) are quite neat in general.

But: it's still far easier to click a bookmarklet. I'm not sure this has enough utility to get someone to switch bookmark providers.

If someone's looking for a good "power user" bookmarking service, http://pinboard.in is excellent and their business model is refreshingly transparent -- a one time fee of about $10 for an account.

What about Google Bookmarks? http://www.google.com/bookmarks/

This is pretty great. Nice idea and good, simple execution.
