Some time ago I discovered Social Bookmarking tools, e.g.: furl, del.icio.us
however none of them filled my eyes just like Spurl did.
It was almost perfect. It has an almost perfect integration with Opera, Firefox and IE.
I could choose whether to keep some urls as private or make them public, publishing categories as URLs that I could share with colleagues, friends and the world :)
But some day, Spurl failed me. It was down for days without explanation. This situation repeated several times and as I was afraid of loosing my links, I exported my urls to a file that I keep in my computer, and now I am using Google Bookmarks for storing those valuable URLs.
From time to time I return to Spurl only for visiting and for being sure that it is online, with the hope that some big company may buy them. The last thing I would like to see is a sinking ship. I would prefer to see a successful and well designed product available for the masses. So Google guys, why don't you give them a call and ask their team for some help and improve your Google Bookmarks tool, that although useful, is years far behind Spurl features.
And if you are not Google but would like to know about Spurl check out this URL www.spurl.net and if you are lucky and it is online you will be able to see it :)
