Qwiki, this year's Techcrunch Disrupt winner seems to have a long way to go before it can really be an "Information Experience" that they claim it will be.

Thanks. We will rework the messaging on the landing page and other pages.

Thanks, auxbuss. The option to disable Twitter/Facebook after they are enabled as well as ability to delete your account are in the to-do list.

auxbuss, we haven't yet tested on Ubuntu. Will do that. Also, do you happen to have a script blocker on it, like no-script?

Option to switch off is a good idea. We will add it soon.

mahmud, as of now, we are concentrating on the online part of it. Making a desktop utility would be a something we may look at sometime in the future.

Thanks blntechie for your feedback.

The categorization of bookmarks was started with a set of seed urls. It will get better as more and more pages are categorized through it. We will continue to fine tune it.

Good points about the Search lens and about changing the left panel when there are no pages found for the search terms.

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.

Thanks vkalladath for the feedback. We are indexing the entire content as well as have an Easy Reader that provides an uncluttered view of the page. Providing support for Kindle is a good idea. We are currently working on iPhone, iPad and Android apps. Will look into Kindle as well.

We do provide bookmarklets. Once you sign into the app, go to the "Account" tab and you will see "Bookmarklet" option.

We do plan on adding Facebook and Twitter streams as well as RSS feeds.

Did you click on the confirm email link twice? The first time you click it, the email is confirmed. The next time, we should show a message saying your email is already confirmed. But, we have a bug that doesn't show the message and redirects you to the register page.

We will recreate this issue and get it fixed ASAP. Do let us know if you are unable to login.

No. All the pages added to Zukmo are private to you. Unless you take some action to share them, they remain private to you.

If you want to share them, you can explicitly share them via Zukmo. We also provide options to share the bookmarks on Facebook and Twitter.

Cool. You explained in five words, what we tried to do with a hundred :-)
