Video Review: Xerpi Favorites Manager

XerpiNY-based Xerpi is what I call a "favorites manager". When you first load Xerpi, it might look like a startpage (e.g. netvibes, pageflakes, schmedley, yourminis, etc.), but it's actually a favorites manager. When you signup for an account, you can select either a blank page or a pre-defined starting point. I selected Technology and was presented with about 10 links total. They need to increase this and create 50-100 links so that the page seems full and also offers some good start points for newbies.

They've also created several public xerpi-pages including an iPhone Resources page and a Free Things to do in NYC page. Xerpi is much more mainstream-targeted than Delicious.

They currently generate revenue by the Google search engine on the site. I am assuming they could also do sponsored Xerpi pages and also sponsored panels within the Xerpi application.

I'd like to see a panel for the various browsers that lets me keep Xerpi open as a panel while browsing. This would make it easier than having to keep switching back and forth to the Xerpi app in another tab or window.

Here's my video review:

Great! At last a bookmark manager with the possibility to re-arrange individual bookmarks. This is missing in almost all similar services out there..

Hi, I work at Xerpi.

Thanks for the great and accurate review.

Anders P -- yes one of my favorite features is our drag and drop. Others are one-click save browser buttons and shared/public views.

Allen -- I'm not quite sure what you mean by a panel. Do you mean a toolbar?

Thanks and let me know if you all have any other questions or suggestions.
