Sarah Perez just published a review about the new Secondbrain:
It’s not often you hear an application’s creators describe their service as “an unmanageable complexity” that “compromised the user experience,” but that’s exactly what those behind the content aggregation system Secondbrain are admitting right now. Their service, a bookmarking/social-media sharing/lifestreaming/social network kind of tool was hard to describe and even harder to use.
Also see my comment just below the post and check out the Twitterati talking about the new version.
We just did a few minor improvements to Secondbrain.
Among the updates are several performance improvements, the availability of edit options in all views and RSS feeds from the most important pages.
Now you can also change your registered email address in your settings panel.
There are several more updates coming in the next few weeks. If you would like to share some feedback, please visit our feedback forum on secondbrain.uservoice.com.
We’re performing some major brain surgery on Secondbrain.com. We should be back in about 48 hours. Thank you for your patience and see you soon,
The Secondbrain Team
Finally, we are going to deploy a major change and update to Secondbrain.com. During this update, we need to take down the service for about 48 hours.
We expect Secondbrain.com to be taken down on Sunday evening around 1800 hours CET. If everything goes as planned, we expect to be back up within about 48 hours.
The new Secondbrain will be quite different from today’s version. We have simplified the product model to focus on adding bookmarks to collections. Our goal is to make online bookmarking simple and useful.
We promise to explain more about the new Secondbrain once we’re back up.
See you soon:)
The Secondbrain Team
We’re deploying the testversion to our testserver this weekend. As soon as we have confirmed that the service is running well, we’ll start inviting some of our closest friends to test it. Depending on the feedback we plan to launch it publicly a couple of weeks later.
Cheers!
It’s been a while since we updated our blog, but rest assured that we have been working behind the scenes on the next update of Secondbrain.com.
The new version should be ready for testing in a few weeks and we plan a public release as soon as our testpilots give us the thumbs up.
We’ll publish some more information on the upcoming release as we approach the launch. However, one bit of information that we can give today is that the new version will be simpler, faster and much more focused than the current release. We’ll have more details for you in our next post:)
Update: And we’re back and running smoothly.
We are moving the db to a brand spanking new server to improve performance. We’ll be right back:)
Secondbrain is relocating to new servers, and there will be some downtime while we are moving the all the data. Please return to www.secondbrain.com in a few hours.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience, and look forward to see you on our new servers!
Always thinking,
The Secondbrain team
We have several $20 Amazon gift cards left, so instead of closing the promotion today, we decided to extend it until the 18th of December.
This will give more people a chance to get rewarded for introducing new people to our community.
We understand that some people may not like that we are changing the dates so late in the promotion, but we would like to introduce Secondbrain to as many people as possible, and to give more people a chance to participate.
All of you who are already qualified for a gift card will get your awards when the contest ends.
Good luck to you all and keep inviting your friends
