Delicious.com loses its holy grail / Brian Cray's Blog

Nice bdmention.

Quoted: If every publisher replaced their “save to delicious” button with a “save to faves.com” button, you’d see a MAJOR shift of users in a few months time.

Mention in a small blog.

Quoted: The most convenient and the most loved feature of this website is that every time its registered user visits the Faves homepage, they see their ‘bookmarks’ i.e. they are able to easily view a summary of whatever things their friends have viewed or whatever has been shared among them.

Expert Technical Review of Your Website

mohit — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:37:06 GMT

Short summary of the Faves.com case study I presented at SMX.

Quoted: This session will include actual case studies. First example is Faves.com. Wanted to capture long tail keyword searches so distributed long tail content across many linkable pages.
...
They also had a branding problem Was called bluedot.us in which users were confused over the .us name. Faves.com is more in line with what they actually offer.

Microsoft To Unveil Social Bookmarking Tool - Yahoo! News

I just noticed we're mentioned -- but with our old name, Blue Dot -- in this Yahoo News article about Microsoft's social bookmarking tool.

Quoted: Among the more popular social bookmarking services that have sprung up are Reddit, del.icio.us and Digg. Other popular entrants include Blue Dot and Diigo.

SarahLacy.com: Once Delicious, Now Stale

mohit — Mon, 12 May 2008 07:25:22 GMT

ReFave of a nice mention.

Quoted: Michael [Arrington] appears extra frustrated because like most of us he wants Delicious to succeed. As a matter of fact, he named Delicious one of the Web Apps you can't live without in 2006, but then dumped Delicious in 2007 for BlueDot (Now Faves.com) because they were surpassed when it came to features.
...
While Yahoo has been asleep at the wheel, countless new social bookmarking services have pulled ahead of the once king of online favorites. The best of the bunch being Magnolia and Faves.

This Hosted Life » Blog Archive » Microblogging with Twitter & Faves

mohit — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:25:57 GMT

I am trying (again) to establish a blogging habit.

Quoted: Not surprisingly, I use these microblogging services to broadcast “stream of consciousness” thoughts whereas I plan to use this blog for hopefully more thought provoking and “on-topic” posts.
...
Why two microblogging services then?

Winners and Losers on Alexa Ranking Changes

mohit — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:23:13 GMT

Our position is unchanged -- although the companies directly above and below us are now different. Farecast presumably will soon be off the list since it was recently acquired.

Geek Glue: Fave Widget Update

mohit — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 23:52:08 GMT

Geekglue blogs about our new widget...

Quoted: moved my bookmarks from del.icio.us to Faves back when they called themselves BlueDot (my Faves). Since then I've posted more than once (11 times if we count this post) about their excellent service and converted a few friends along the way. I've also been using their blog widget for most of that time; it was simple and yet very useful.
...
Yesterday Faves announced a new blog widget. The new widget has a neat "interactive wizard" to allow easy customization of the content and appearance of the widget.
