I was a regular user until recently of Blinklist because I liked their product, still do in fact, but that was before I tried Flock. I actually converted from Delicious early in January 2006 because Blinklist was just easier to look at, more features, a little slicker (read: ajaxy), and well I could find what I needed easier.
That is why its sad to think that in the last 2 weeks of using Flock (a new branch of development sprung from Firefox’s fiery seed) I have only occasionally used Blinklist. This is shocking yet explains why IE has survived this long, its because ease of use will always be better than a better service. So right now I am on a knife edge balancing between Blinklist and Del.icio.us. Determined to have a great product but equally determined to have simplified access to my bookmarks.
I wonder how many others are flirting with change. Shadows has a service comparable to Blinklist yet they are integrated with Flock, I am tempted to give them a try. I wonder if they will import from Blinklist? Anyone know.
Oh well its not like Blinklist never heard of these ideas before. They never were asked for deeper integration here 1, here 2, and more recently here.
Well I am off to out this Shadows service. I must say I am still baffled by this miss step by Blinklist, they always seemed very on top of their game.
