Awesome idea. Every time my girlfriend goes on Reddit I get five or six emails from her with random links she wanted to show me.

When do you think you'll start letting people into the private beta?

Oh and the "Return to website" link after you submit your email takes you to http://freshlog.com/ by the way. I don't know if that's on purpose or not, just letting you know.

Oh drat thanks for catching that, I'll fix it.

Real soon, actually.

I've been using this everyday to keep in touch with folks I care about for close to a year now, so the app works, but I'd like to clean up a little first :)

Very cool. Is it just the bookmarklet or are there extensions for other browsers? A Chrome extension would be so much nicer than a bookmarklet in my honest opinion.

Right now there's a bookmarklet.

However, my wife wanted a Chrome extension so much that I wrote a custom one for her.

I haven't gotten round to learn how to automatically generate custom Chrome extensions yet, but I'll be happy to manually create them for early beta testers like you =)

you don't really want to be automatically generating chrome extensions. Instead have one definitive extension and have some custom options within it.

Got it, thanks!
