I have been pretty impressed by this and am seriously considering moving Faves from our own data center to this "cloud" infrastructure.

The nicest feature is the "multi-server" control panel and api that enables you to deploy and manage load-balanced cloud servers. They have categorized their images as "load balancers", "web/app servers", and "database servers" which removes a lot of installation steps (e.g. you don't have to install MySql yourself). They also give you a generous amount of public and private ip addresses.

The sales rep assured me that they will be around for awhile, since the company (ServePath) is financially sound and has been around since 1999. But, I need to confirm that part.

The dealbreaker is that they don't have cloud storage yet. I called the sales team, and the rep said they will be launching that within 6 weeks. The first 100GB will be free, and subsequent storage is $0.15 per gig per month.

Quoted: We recently launched a Facebook application that automatically posts your Faves to your Facebook wall and friends' newsfeeds. Unfortunately, Facebook by default only allows applications to publish "one-line" updates. However, with a few steps, you can enable more detailed updates.

Small mention in Mashable.

Quoted: Faves - Social bookmarking that lets you save, tag and discuss your favorite pages with friends and other users of the service.

Note: After installing the app, you can add Faves as a tab on your Facebook profile by a) clicking the little "+" tab on your profile and b) selecting Faves.

Quoted: Faves are enhanced bookmarks that make it fun and easy to share interesting Web sites with your friends on Facebook.

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.

ReFave: Faves' Facebook App has released. Feel free to try it out and let us know what you think.

Google Insights is a pretty useful marketing tool. I searched for social bookmarking and got a a state by state break down of "regional interest". In theory, it would make sense to invest disproportionately on marketing efforts for a site like Faves in those states.

"Social bookmarking" searches are distributed across a number of states whereas "microblogging" searches are only popular in California. And overall, "microblogging" is a far less popular search term than "social bookmarking".

It's also fun to type in my last name and get a breakdown. Presumably, this tracks the relative concentration of Indian Americans in the U.S.

This is great. It neatly captures what we've intuitively been trying to do with Blue Dot / Faves from day one. Having said that, we don't close the "3+1 loops" nearly as well as we should/could.

I think it also helps explain why Twitter can and do Facebook coexist.

Quoted: 3 + 1 + You

Feedback loops contribute greatly to a user’s sense of Audience within a service. I talked about four such loops here. What other loops exist? What else builds and supports a sense of Audience?
