It's true that in this moment it is hard to come up with practical benefits of semantic tags/structured data for end-users. Still, the structured graph they are part of holds a great potential and the Web of data is evolving fast.. I guess the time will show.


I think you need to figure out the why of tags.

In general, I recommend not spending a huge amount of effort (equivalent to a big bet) without taking some effort to vet the concept in a low-cost way.


I understand your point. For now, I compromise between 'why' and 'how'. Explaining 'the why' of semantic tags (and the Semantic web in general) is still a great challenge, but I feel that moment is very close. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)


Thanks! I fixed it.


Point taken. Thanks for feedback. Importer will be available soon.



Thanks for feedback. Right now RSS feeds are available for every page, but I definitely plan to make API in the future, and make it as open as possible for developers.


That's great to hear! All the best to Faviki!


I’m glad you like the concept. That is one of frustrations I've had with other bookmarking tools. I hope you’ll continue to use it! :)


yes, me too, I have been using del.icio.us for 1+ year and now I have a gigantic un-useful tag cloud. Your app will not solve the problem of having too much tags, but at least make tags more meaningful. I would suggest you to integrate it with del.icio.us in some way because I don't really feel like switching to another bookmarks system at this point.


Faviki is not for websites you visit frequently. It’s for websites you don’t want to forget. It provides a way to organize them and find it later. Wikipedia's role is to help organize bookmarks, and also to provide some useful info about concepts.


I’m glad you like it!

Unfortunately, there is no way to import del.icio.us links yet, but that feature will be available soon.


I'm glad you like it! Thanks for feedback!
