Less anonymous

March 26, 2008

Not everyone likes to sign up for new things, and definitely not all your friends like to sign up for things you’ve just signed up for.

But that doesn’t mean it should cripple your ability to use your own cool tool to work with anybody else.  Today we took yet another tiny step towards that direction by allowing the people you work with to informally identify themselves if they have no account with us.

Guests can edit their name

We hope you’d enjoy the slightly less anonymous commenting.

Information overload? Read Later!

March 20, 2008

There are so many things to read on the web – tech news, links from friends and blogs – and I’d open them, “hmm looks interesting, will read them later” but never could find time to do so in day.

grokked: hi, do you know any web service that can add arbitary web pages to an RSS feed? like i have a whole bunch of pages open in my browser and i want to just add them into google reader for review later
me: maybe can email urself the page or soemthing.. or maybe delicious them. that’s also an RSS
grokked: i was thinking more of the actual page appearing within google reader… this only give me urls
me: hmmm

And hence an experimental feature was quietly launched: The “read later” bookmarklet – Click on the bookmarklet and SharedCopy will stash the page somewhere for you to read later, in your favourite feed reader:

sharedcopy -

Try it out! You can find your own “read later” feed at the bottom of your account “Settings” page :-)
