Ahw crap :( I was working on something similar. But this looks really good. Now they just have to get over that "hug of death" and pay for a bigger server.

As for money generation- sooner or later you will probably see ads in certain areas unless you sign up for a premium plan.

When Dropbox first launched, there were already 8 or so competitors.
Just had a chat with my designer and I think will continue. Maybe this is a good opportunity to learn.
Finding a competitor to a project you have yet to launch can be disheartening, for sure. But, take it this way.. You just got confirmation that there is a market for what you're building. Plus, you can see what they are doing wrong, and do those things right :)
Send a nightly or weekly recap of stuff you've bookmarked (possibly with an indicator of how many other people bookmarked the same items over the time period). Maybe even with a 'click here to organize/tag' link to help me manage things on a regular basis.

I'd probably pay up to $10/year for something like that. I bookmark a lot, but then forget about things. A service that reminded me what I bookmarked would be great.

That is a very good suggestion!
