Furl, the personal filing system that lets you keep track of interesting sites and share it with your friends,
This is an extract from an email to Furl users:
"Tomorrow we will be making an official announcement that Furl has been acquired. However, we wanted you to be the first to hear the news. We are joining LookSmart, a provider of Web search and research-quality articles search, in addition to other high-quality search products."
"This is exciting news for several reasons. First, because LookSmart acquired Furl for the same reasons you probably use it - it is a great service that works well - and LookSmart has no intention of changing the things that make it great. On the contrary, LookSmart is committed to making existing features even more powerful."
They also answer the question that many of the users will be worried about.
"You might be wondering whether Furl will continue to be a free service, and the answer is: "Yes!" Furl will create revenue through the display of relevant, contextual advertising on search and content pages. This revenue source enables us to continue offering Furl free of charge."
In fact, they're increasing the amount of memory allocated to each user to a huge 5Gb. Let's see what happens.
