Description
Our goal is to create a bookmarks system that doesn't require the user to think about how he needs to organize his bookmarks. We want a straigt forward solution where the user only needs one klick to bookmark a page and everything else will be done by the browser. Trying to find a certain page the user will be presented with a "tag-cloud" like overview of his bookmarks. He will also be able to specify the output of the cloud via text-based search input.

users goals
- keep interesting, rare, hard to find pages at the tip of their fingers
- organize a simple structure to do so, without supplying any additional information
- refind pages easily without having to big of a thinking-process
users main issues
- users rather leave tabs open to "refind" pages because the bookmark system as of today requires a lot of user-based thought and action
Was stoert dich beim heutigen Bookmarks-Konzept? bookmarken ist zu aufwändig erst noch sortieren und speichern - eigentlich will man ja nur ein tab weniger haben.
- bookmarks are too static, folder based (hierachical) sorting doesn't represent the way we think nowadays
Was stoert dich beim heutigen Bookmarks-Konzept? Einmal alles. bookmarks sind als statische ordner gespeichert nicht als datenbank einträge die von ordnern losgelöst sind. das bookmark sollte autonom behandelt werden und eher nacht tags oder meta angaben sortiert werden.
- because the user is lazy most of the bookmarks are thrown into one folder, thus the whole idea of bookmarking becomes obsolete
- user will more likly use text based search (history, google) to refind information, but the bookmarks system doesn't support this
