You asked for it ;) Sorry if I seem critical; it's intended to be constructive.
I imported my Firefox bookmarks. You've captured all the bookmarks themselves, but you seem to have discarded all other metadata, including (a) the hierarchical structure, and (b) tags and description. This is really unfortunate, particularly because your auto-categorization code seems to show a high degree of .... shall we say, creativity?
It looks like the only way to access this saved stuff is to actually visit your page. There's no way I can access it through the browser itself (as I can with bookmarks today). While you do have a FF extension, it doesn't seem to provide a means of accessing those bookmarks, only a way to add new ones. It may seem petty, but the need to open your web site to access a bookmark is enough extra rigmarole that I'm not going to bother.
As mentioned in another thread yesterday, I'm not going to log in using Facebook. It requires exposing my friends' identities, and I don't feel I have the right to make that choice for them.
For that matter, I'm never, ever, going to choose the option so that my new entries are posted into Facebook. Bookmarks (and other notetaking) is a tool, like turning a screwdriver. While I might post to a social site about the project I'm working on, I don't post about each screw I turn.
Thanks CWuestefeld. Yes, we did ask for it :-) That is why we love HN and the constructive discussions here.
You raise a very important point. We did discard all the heirarchical structure and the tags. Our initial thought was that tags and folders are not needed as we can search for a bookmark based on terms we remember from the content of the page. However, the fact is that there maybe additional data in the tags and folders and descriptions that may get ignored. We are looking at way to add this data into our index so that it isn't lost.
We are planning on adding the search within the browser extensions. That would make it easy for you to search your Zukmo account without visiting the site.
About signing in through Facebook, it is just an option some users may find useful. They don't have to remember another password. Personally, I find the Twitter sign in option as I don't mind giving out my Twitter credentials. So, we decided to provide all three options: Your own email id/password, Twitter or Facebook.
