this is definitely a cool thing for us...to see our name and logo there is sweet.

thanks for all the great things many of you have said about clipmarks this week in response to pc mag's coverage. no doubt, having confidence in ourselves and what we're doing is a huge factor in doing things well and having the fortitude to fight on. you have given us an unquantifiable, irreplaceable jolt and it means the world to us as a team and as individuals. thank you!!!

This is awesome news! 4 stars is great but you guys should be getting 5 real soon with the way you've been working on the site.

I am extremely proud to have been able to talk to you and Adam before you become superstars and forget about us "little guys."

Quotes I find particularly interesting from the article;

While you can certainly choose to keep your clippings private, sharing, commenting on, cackling over, or getting hot under the collar about public clippings can be fun.
I think invictus, gman, kore and others can confirm this.

Clipmarks has a very clean, inviting, and intuitive interface that I prefer to those of del.icio.us, digg, and Yahoo! My Web.
Yea baby!!

Still, I hope that despite future expansion, the sense of community and the congenial atmosphere (there's plenty of debate, but it tends to stay civil) will remain.
Gosh.. this question sounds familiar!

In the end...

Don't worry Rich, we won't forget

One thing we definitely shouldn't forget is that Eric and I can be here talking because Derek and EricW work like machines to make all this happen. They'd be here more if they weren't keeping the sprocs in check all night

Derek and EricW....

I am sorry you gentlemen frequently get left out of the compliments because, as I understand, you two are largely responsible for the awesome tool clipmarks has become.

Soooo, in an effort to make up for my lack on congrats to you, if there ever is a clipmarks disco night, I will walk right past Eric and Adam to congratulate and shake your hands first.

BBW: Hey, I don't cackle! (I wish I had more time to clip and comment, though...sometimes it's hard enough just finding time to read all the excellent info already here.)

Congratulations again to the Marksmen who make it all possible.

Now get back to work!

Heyyyy, guys... I just happened to read that edition of PC Magazine (the Zinio eZine version), and, always checking to see if there is any innovative or particularly useful software that I might benefit from, saw the article about clipmark, and thought hmmmm... this sounds pretty interesting. Came out here immediately to check it out, and was definitely wowed.

I have to tell you, I think this this is absolutely GREAT! What a great addition to the web this is!! Very curious about how it all is done, what stumbling blocks you had to overcome to get it functioning, etc, and would love to read a bit about the development history sometime. But.... that curiousity is beside the point. ...

Thanks FortunateOne (great username)!! As many people on this site can attest to, we greatly appreciate...and in some ways thrive on...that type of feedback. I'd be lying if i said that creating clipmarks has been quick, easy or smoothe for us. It hasn't.

What has kept us going is: (1) our undying belief that the web, and therefore the world, will one day be better because of it and (2) the incredible passion and energy of our users.

To make a way too long story short, it started with me and djkraz. we sort of, kind of, almost built a prototype that was ok. To be totally clear, djkraz built it totally by himself (i don't write code at...
