Greg,

I was waiting for the occasion to test it, but then realized I don't really like Tumblr export. I bookmark more links than I want in my Tumblr, and message duplication through different channels becomes a problem.

Sorry I didn't get to test this out, and thanks for all the hard work!

If you send a link to Twitter, or anywhere else, for that matter, it will also be saved by default (unless you uncheck a box somewhere).

I believe the functionality is already as you would like, just the UI a bit confusing.

Cool, thank you! Wish Get Satisfaction were more like a ticket system and let you close implemented suggestions.

Having a screenshot prevents Tumblr exports from including comment

When a link has both a screenshot and a comment, only the screenshot gets posted to Tumblr.

Example of problem:

First link on http://www.mento.info/shalunov/archiv...

has a comment ("Typical Senior Software Engineer at Google makes $120k.") and gets exported to

http://blog.shlang.com/post/38076304/...

without the comment.

Note how the problem seems to occur before posting: http://www.mento.info/shalunov/links/... already doesn't have the comment.

Comments on links without images work fine.

Twitter appeared as addressee after delay and browser restart.

The only small remaining point is the change from 302 to 301.

Thank you.

I can't find Twitter as an addressee. Twitter account is connected.

I click on the Mento icon on the toolbar. Popup appears. I select "Send". I look around for the word "Twitter" -- nope. I start typing "Twitter" into the address bar, which brings up Leo Laporte (his username is, of course, twit).

Where is this, again?

I didn't know about the feature of posting to Twitter. Indeed, this is what I was looking for.

P.S. go.mento.info now does 302 redirects. Would it be possible to change this to 301 so Google juice passes to the actual page I'm posting instead of staying in the redirector and not doing any good there? Thanks.

tinyurl with click tracking

Another suggestion for Mento.

I use tinyurl for Twitter posting. If I could use a Mento URL shortener that told me something about the clicks, I'd consider switching.

Considerations I use choosing URL shortener, in order of importance:

1. Must privide clean 301 redirect. Not 302. Not refresh. Not JavaScript. Not preview page. Real 301.

2. Must provide permanent URLs that will work 10 years from now.

3. Nice if the URLs are extra-short.

4. Bonus points if I generate the URL or the entire Twitter post from the extension, but I don't have this now and live without.

The main challenge is (2), of course -- communicating commitment in ways other than having been around for a long time.

delicious import in addition to export

You've my delicious password for export.

Can you use the same to import my 6700+ old links into Mento? This would let me use Mento as my primary bookmarking site. Otherwise, I have to keep looking things up on delicious.

Emphasize comments on posted links

I'm thrilled with Mento.

I would like my comments to be above the screenshot, in a larger and non-ugly serif font, perhaps with a big opening quote in front.

The way it is, the comments take effort to write, but are not featured prominently enough on my page to reflect this effort.

Thank you!

Thomas, I missed the fact that it was posted through @confessions. GeekMommy already set me straight on this. I get it now. I was under the false impression that there was an account on Twitter represented as personal that was posting this. – Stanislav Shalunov, on May 23, 2008 09:47
