Prompted by these Tweets ...
"@matthiasdaues Memonic (@mymemonic) looks interesting, but they haven't explained to me why I should switch from evernote…" jted.
"@jted This is true. But it's certainly not bad to know an alternative. Perhaps @mymemonic reacts to your mention. How would be interesting." matthiasdaues
... I thought a quick post about some advantages of our product could be worthwhile - and may be start a Internet Meme on online note taking applications?!
Basically any note taking application may be split into three steps: Capture, Organize, Use & Share.
The first step is capturing any digital content. A tricky and difficult part, as any website or source (office documents, research databases) etc. require special attention to produce a good snippet. Thereafter: a little organization of your snippets might be useful. And, your snippets are no end to themselves: You want to use them and/or share them.
In our case:
- On Capture: Our web clipper and browser extensions allow you a versatile selection process of any type of digital content. Some consider our web clipper best in class.
- On Organization: No need to learn how yet another application interface works. A snippets may be considered an "email". Hence our simple and straight forward user interface modeled on ease of use.
- On Use & Share: I guess here we make a real difference (already).
These are just a few benefits of using Memonic.
Sure we're only 10 months live. There is a long way to go to make this a comprehensive solution for all your note taking needs. A few things are on our list: A desktop edition, more dedicated mobile editions (e.g. Android), export functionality, ability that 3rd parties may integrate Memonic easily, and much more.
To end I guess it's best to let our users say what they think:
"Memonic is my choice of Google Notebook replacement! A gem!" RogerDis
"playing around with the new app @mymemonic just did some tests and I must say this is just right! Love the app...keep up the good wrk!" ntm23
"Techie Buzz verdict: 5/5 - Brilliant. Memonic has all the tools you need for clipping content from blogs or editorials." TechieBuzz
"Memonic lets users to select and collect snippets of websites, documents, and pictures on the web and any offline content for later use". TechCrunch

If you're a regular Memonic user then you will know that Memonic is not only a great tool for capturing information but as well for sharing your interesting bits and pieces with your friends or the public.
Sharing of single Items has always been easy. You can set the permissions to "public" or "friends", grab a short url or generate a guestpass, which you then can send to other people or share on Facebook or Twitter.
Often however you want to share whole Sets instead of single Items in order to keep other people updated about all information you are collecting about a certain topic. And maybe, some of these Items shall be visible for the target audience only.
With last week's release, we added the possibility that you can share whole Sets in the same way as you would do that with single Items.
If you're browsing one of your Sets, you will find a "Link to this Set" link in the upper right corner. Not much of a surprise that clicking on this link will allow you to create a link to that Set.
A small popup window will show and present you a short URL. This is a tiny link to all the public Items in your Set and you can use it for sending all around the world. Your friends on Memonic will as well see those Items where you set the permissions to "friends".
If you have a Set of nice recipes and want to share that with your mom or other people that don't have a Memonic account, and you don't want to have the whole world having access to them, then you can now generate a guestpass.
A guestpass is a link that gives a person special access on a resource.
Just send the guestpass to people you know and they will be able to see all the Items in that Set - private as well as public.
We hope that this makes it easier for you to let other people participate on the knowledge you have and want to share.
Happy sharing!

Martin Schmitt - er lebt in Uruguay - schreibt in seinem exzellenten Lateinamerika Reisemagazin über Memonic. Und er prägt gleich einen neuen Begriff für Memonic: Das Internetmerkbuch. Gute Beschreibung, danke Martin!

Thank you Tokuna! Your support is greatly appreciated.
With your tutorial Memonic is now usable in Japanese, too. The Memonic site is currently not (yet) available in Japanese, but a quick look at that tutorial and our friends in Japan may use our service, too.
May be you would like to volunteer to give us a hand translating the site to Japanese (or any other language). Get in touch with us!

Thanks Jason!

Over at MakeUseOf.com they published a nice review of Memonic this week. They write:
"This tool helps you aggregate that information in one location. This is much better than just bookmarking the site.What if the site is no longer available? Then you are out of luck. Instead let’s file away our information!"
Thanks guys!
