Memonic replacing Delicious

logo_memonicI started to use Memonic as a productivity tool to save snipets of web content or personal thoughts on topic I am working on. Originally it was not so much for long-term archiving but more for ongoing work. I never felt very comfortable with the overlapping between Delicious and Memonic though and recent problems around Delicious convinced me to move definitively to Memonic.

Few random thoughts about Memonic:

  • While using services on the web I usually make sure they do not try to retain you by locking down your data (when possible). Leaving Delicious was actually quite easy since they propose some sort of export function. I’d love now Memonic to also propose an advanced export function… :-)
  • Memonic usage range from saving web content of course as well as an online notepad to take annotation or write blog post like this one.
  • Tags would be a nice addition. Was the case when I started to write this post (in Memonic first) but not anymore with their recent addition.
  • Google Reader integration. Google Reader being my RSS reader it would be nice to save item and content directly from there in Memonic.
  • RSS Support for sets. I found out in the meantime there are nice Atom functionalities including for private sets.
  • Memonic allows to organize items in multiple ways, I’d love to be able to sort them within a set.
  • Differents views are available to organize your item… what about a customizable view by the user ? I’d love to have a view where the whole item content is displayed and not just a sentence…
  • I would make use of a customizable export function… say for instance I want to export in blog post a few selected item within a set (with title+link+one line of content), how could I do that ?
  • HTML export: afaik there is no access to HTML code in the editor. Would be nice to have such a feature, would make it easier to use Memonic for blogging
  • Favorite Sets. Marking some sets as favorite for quick access would be useful as – with usage – the lists of sets is growing and quickly become not manageable.

And yet another feature which might be turned into a “business opportunities” somehow…

  • Support for Connected TV! Amongst all the content I save and oranize on the web there are obviously videos that I like to watch on my newly bought Boxee Box. Better support for Connected TV would be nice though admittedly it is a very specific request. See Watch Later feature from Boxee Box.
