Kippt (YC S12) adds social lists and discovery features

I'm currently using Kippt to keep track of awesome plugins and libraries that I find on my travels around the web (eg. cool javascript libraries).<p>Adding social lists means that I can now share these with my colleagues/friends. Great addition.

I'm not using this anymore, for several reasons:<p>I didn't get warm and fuzzy at the site by registering and spending some time.<p>I'm not a fan anymore of site being developed with all their intended features (read, as they go along experimenting) while we use (depend) them for daily chores. I'd rather site display all its cards right upfront.<p>The bookmarking site model is following the same trend as it existed for many years, i.e, there is nothing innovative in this area.

I like Kippt but wish it had a tagging mechanism. The only way to simulate tags is to put the link in multiple lists - which can be a pain. The Chrome extension only allows the link to be added to one list, and so I was often adding a link with the extension, only to then navigate to the site to add it to other lists. I ended up just giving up and using the search feature in Chrome bookmarks.

I just signed up and will give it a spin. I was going to install the Chrome Extension but the prompt says:<p>Add Kiptt?<p>It can:<p>- Access your data on all web sites.<p>- Access your tabs and browsing activity.<p>Why would the extension need all that above data if it's just bookmarking the page into Kippt?

Awesome tool. I would be nice to add just notes, without links at all. It would make it easier to keep/share lists of code snippets, useful phone numbers, organizations, people, addresses etc. EDITED

it sucks when you see startups doing what you've been building solo for some time, but not yet launched... :/
