The idea for Bookmarksy.io started with a simple statement:
“I wish I could get an email of my twitter bookmarks every week so I didn’t stop forgetting them. Something like The Morning Brew”
So I went on the internet searching for a solution that might already exist that solves my problem. It didn’t. So I went to work.
Setting up a domain name, email list, landing page, social media, The whole nine yards. But having spoken to some people about this problem, I realize there’s something more here.
It isn’t just difficult to remember to re-visit your twitter bookmarks, the entire concept of bookmarks in twitter is broken! A single stream of un-contextualized tweets or threads, sorted in order of most recently added to least recently added.
A feed that would allow you to categorize, tag and sort these bookmarks more effectively would be much more useful.
After some brainstorming, here’s the feature list I’d like to go to launch with:
- Bookmark aggregation/consolidation
- Threads condensed to a single, blog post like display with likes, retweets and replies information
- Contextualization
- Adding categorization and tagging to bookmarks for storage and retrieval
- Bookmark habits/ Analytics
- Am I actually using my bookmarks in a meaningful way?
- Daily/ Weekly roundup emails
- The Morning Brew style emails of my bookmarks for low-effort consumption.
- Bookmark cleanup
- Once I’ve processed my bookmarks in Bookmarksy.io, I can clean them up from my twitter feed.
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Is this something you would use?
