1) If you are new to mento, you won't find out about the functionality which is making mento so great. The options are lost in the background. A newbie won't find out and won't use the options.
I know for sure, that recommending mento will be harder, because the people won't see the details. If will have to tell them.. "hey, you can tag your links or make them private, but you have to save the option in first place".
This is really a problem. You have to make the tagging field visible for every new installation. Otherwise the posted links will be less detailled.
2) I liked the old mento box, because I could drag and resize it to my needs. The new box is destroying my freedom of choice, how I want to use and place the box in my browser. You always have to give the power to the people.

The new design is a step backwards. I understand the strategy behind the new design, but it over simplyfies the functionality. I will draw some images that show a better way and a compromise between complexity and simplicity. The design of the posting box is crucial and has to be way better.
It would be cool to have mento share my thumbnails and links to facebook (share a link feature!) as well.. It will also get traffic to mento if somebody wants to see full resolution picture! (And if user clicks on the link they should be redirected to actual story!)
I love FriendFeed bookmarket because if enables me to select upto three images along with my shared link! If Mento can also enable users to select more than one images while sharing the story, it would be great!
The reason being, there are many links/stories where its difficult to choose just one image .. And many stories are such that more than one images gives the context of the story with just images so user can decide whether he really wants to go look at original page!
Next big thing for mento would be to enable users to add YouTube and SoapBox videos (with other famous video sharing sites) by selecting them through extension just like users do with images right now!
I have observed that few sites still uses PNG files for image on browser page.. If I try to share those page and try to add those images via mento, I dont get image highlighted! Doesn't Mento addon (firefox) work with PNG images or am I missing something?
As friends do not necessarily register using the email address we emailed an invitation to them, it would be convenient to be able to "manually" delete "Contacts outside of Mento" when those include existing Mento Contacts. In my case, my brother just joined Mento, is part of my contacts, but still appears twice as "Contact outside of Mento" via his email address AND via the "Facebook link". Thanks in advance for adding this functionality and kind regards.
es ist blau... - aber nein, spaßbeiseite: das blau ist etwas zu dunkel fü stil sonst - ich wüicht so ein tiefblau nehmen, sondern das hellere - aber viel wichtiger: ich wütwas weiter ausholen und nicht gleich beginnen mit "sharing links with the people you care about." - das köe auf viele zu technisch (praktisch) wirken, man sollte mit dem eigentlichen ansatz beginnen: wer leidet heute, umgeben von mehr Kommunikationsmitteln denn je, nicht an dem paradoxerweise durch sie produzierten kommunikationsdefiziten, frürzäten sich leute untereinander, welche büsie gelesen oder nicht gelesen haben, welche filme etc. - heute eröet das internet kommunikationsräe, in denen sich der einzelne verlät (weil sie nicht eben automatisch zu vernetzung fü wie man annehmen köe, wenn man mal klingeltönoch nicht als vernetzung ansieht oder smeet oder iogi - er braucht einen halt,orientierungen - und diese kön sich die vielen einsamen nutzer nur selbst und gegenseitig geben - das ist m. E der ansatz von mento..."
