Also if you are on a page that you want to unkeep, you can click to unkeep from the keeper tile.
You can also unkeep when you are on the page, by clicking on the keeper in the lower right hand corner.
Does anybody share links via email any more? Wouldn't 99.9% of the population use facebook, twitter or pintrest?
When you want a more contextual and relevant conversation with an individual or group, or you want to annotate with highlights on a page, we believe Kifi is a great solution.
In particular I get email links when my sister travels internationally (she uses a throw away email address rather than logging into main accounts/social media when traveling).
I've used Dragdis for some of my bookmarking before, but the sharing ability coupled with the independent conversations linked to what I share makes this really neat.
I like the fact that it's linked to email because I see myself using this with colleagues or a few select friends at a time, not sharing blindly.
What are the limits for email sends on this? Is it managed by my provider?
Right now the email limits are very loose. Legitimate usage won't run into anything. We're sending the emails ourselves, from a custom address for each link. When they reply, you get the reply instantly inside Kifi. When you send a link on Kifi, you'll be able to preview exactly what was emailed.
Is there a plan to create an embedded widget that I can use to share content without the full functionality of the extension?
I can see immediate applications as regards Pinterest, by the way. I just tested it out, and if you share a pin using Pinterest's system you get in your email a red button that you need to click to see whatever was shared.
Using your system, I can share whatever the hell I want and don't have to redirect people to Pinterest in order to see it. Plus, I can have a private email conversation with people about what I sent them without being redirected. Nice. There are a lot of content partner applications as well; I think you guys are on to something with this.
Does it look like the picture on the right? If so, it'd be clearer if the Gmail framing were present there too. Does it just become a link to a kifi page?
And yes! If you send this to a Kifi-non user they will get the experience that you see in the picture on the right. The image, title, and source directly to the 3rd party site you shared - not to Kifi.com.
Our primary goal is to enable people to keep and collaborate content easier than before. In addition to discussions, we have a full-text search engine that incorporates into Google results, showing links you've kept if they're relevant to your search. From that standpoint, we're a "much better bookmarking platform". Over time, we'll be helping people discover interesting content, too.
This email-a-page feature is actually just our newest, and isn't the core of the product. However, it looks like many people really like this, stand alone. I'll bring this up with product, and see if we can come to something that will meet your needs. In a perfect world, would you like a more minimalistic extension that JUST did this, a bookmarklet, or something else? We want to be the easiest way to share and collaborate about content with others.
