[Show HN] Handpick: The most caring way to share links

I like the copy on your homepage. Last year I built a prototype of a similar service and used it for a couple of months with friends, but it turned out that not having immediate feedback takes a lot of fun out of sharing. Posting a link to Skype and having a conversation about it in real time feels much more rewarding. It's something psychological, hard to explain.<p>Having said that, I still want to explore this idea some time in the future and see how it works out.<p>You might want to check out a similar service created by other HN user: <a href="http://www.yourpane.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourpane.com/</a>

I like the email part because it removes the "burden" for some people to think about checking my profile on either G+ or FB or twitter on which I do not always post the same things. But I did not understand how I can select which links to send to whom (for example if I have general CS links for everyone and JAVA specific ones for 10 people and C/C++ for others, etc.)<p>This also seems a lot like Subjot cf <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2946547" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2946547</a>

Awesome idea. Every time my girlfriend goes on Reddit I get five or six emails from her with random links she wanted to show me.<p>When do you think you'll start letting people into the private beta?<p>Oh and the "Return to website" link after you submit your email takes you to <a href="http://freshlog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://freshlog.com/</a> by the way. I don't know if that's on purpose or not, just letting you know.

Oh snap. I was going to develop something extremely similar to this over the next couple of months (i've only just started to learn how to develop).<p>I can relate totally to the problem you are solving here, and its a very real one. Let me know if you want me to send you some of the ideas that i had. You might be able to use them ;-)

I'm upvoting you because well done for launching something. But what I see is "our service allows you to email your friends, but only with links, and not using your normal email client". Explain why I'm wrong?<p>And which of my problems are you solving?

Nice, 7 private beta requests after 58 minutes on Hacker News, I should have launched this sooner :)

Nice, but who sends links by email nowadays? Besides, Facebook introduced better sharing controls..
