This service does look very similar to Delicious. Obviously Howl is displaying links per user, but the end result is the same.

You say that it isn't the focus of Facebook/Twitter and your right, but it doesn't need to be. Why not make your site plug into Facebook more? Allow people to like each post, or cross post all links onto Facebook. That way your integrating but still differentiating.

Good work on getting it all of the ground though, and good work on the domain name. Keep at it, something good will come from it.

Thanks, we plan on more integration so that a post on howl automatically goes onto your FB/Twitter. We're also stealing Tumblr's reblog feature, so people can repost good links onto their blog from other people.

Good work on all your responses also. You haven't just posted this and sat back, you are actively responding to everyone.

I think that makes a big difference, and being responsive and pro-active like that will manifest itself in other area's of your startup.
