Ask HN: Please review my bookmarking web app

Unique value proposition: A bookmarking site with a powerful search that lets you search on tags, dates, words on page, domains, or any combination of those.

The search "today css ;design"

translates to: "Search for links added today, tagged 'design', where the page contains the word 'css'"

You can edit tags using the search

"today css ;design -design +css"

translates to: "Search for links added today, tagged 'design', where the page contains the word 'CSS', and remove the tag 'design' and add the tag 'css'"

I went live with this site about a month ago and I'm finding myself using it everyday - its turning out to be one of my least useless websites. :)

Any feedback is appreciated. Signup requires an email address and password, but a fake email address is ok. There is no validation necessary, its only for retrieving a lost password.

having it scan the words on the page and offer suggestions for tags would be helpful (not sure if it's feasible or not).

combining the list page with a 'share this' or 'make a short url' version would be useful too.

I always thought that a "share this" link was a cheap way websites slightly increase their virality. Does this really have a legit use?

Then why require it?

Account need some kind of username. So why not make the username the email address, which does double duty for retrieving lost passwords, which is stated
