LinkLocker

I did manage to get access to an Xmarks account, and I am going to try to get Xmarks import ready in time for that service's demise on May 1.

Our users are the best. To thank you all, today we are instituting a great new way to give your friends a discount toward a new subscription while also getting a discount for yourselves. Any time a new user signs up after visiting the site with your special referral link (which can be found on your new referrals page), both you and your referred user will get a credit for one month's subscription fee added to your accounts.

Diigo imports are now possible, using their CSV export option. Go to our importer and give it a try.

Since our launch last month, the two most common requests have been for a "Read Later" feature and for the ability to import content from Pocket. We're happy to say that both of those features are live as of today.
