Salyangoz is a realtime link sharing platform. Comparing to Pocket or any other bookmark saving tools, Salyangoz is not a bookmark saving tool. Its behavior is Snapchat-ish. With the browser extension, you will be able to share your links on Salyangoz. It allows you to have a cleaner approach to view links up-to-date and daily.
Your sharings will be available to see for 24 hours by your followers. On the Popular and Recent menus, you'll see most viewed links and most recent links in the 24 hours.
It uses Twitter to register and login.
@fkadev Would be cool as an extension to mobile safari, you know how Bing has the little translate page button in safari (by the add to homepage button). Thoughts?

@fkadev Nice concept, but why links are limited for 24 hours?

@baddesigner Because we consume the internet. Old links are old, nobody wants to see obsolete and old content, which makes your history a garbage. If you are using a bookmark saving utility, you can realize that most of them are obsolete and garbage now. Salyangoz is not a bookmarking platform, it's a "up-to-date" link sharing platform. Salyangoz is a "living" platform, but not a database.
The product name seems a bit complicated, and is fairly difficult to say and share. I have thought a different product name?

@paul_banks It's not that hard: sal (like saying "Sam" but with ending "L") + yan (like "ian") + goz (like "goose") = "SaL ian goose" may be the closest pronounciation :)
Love this concept. Snapchat is sure the best way to share our visual "life story" with friends, and Salyangoz is seemingly a great way of showing whats on our minds, our inner-self through our interests and discoveries.
So on that, please get rid of the EDIT: "automatically post to" public feed as quick as possible and make it friend to friend, I'd hesitate to share all the weird stuff I find if everyone can see it, same as Snapchat. Make it that, and I think you have a winner.
Two bugs:
- My links didn't show up on my Profile right away, but they do show up in the Recent feed. Thought the site was broken for the first 5 minutes.
- The post time is off by 3 hours, possibly not adjusting for Timezone?

@capsuledev1 We are pulling your Timezone from your Twitter account. We'll fix that. We are discussing about public feed :)
Sounds like a great idea! What people bookmark online is like the modern version of what kind of books you keep on your bookshelf :) What does the brand name mean? Why the snail?

@parkhmp7 Because we draw a path when we share our links, just like a snail :) Salyangoz means snail in Turkish and Greek :)
I do hate apps taking over my menu bar but this would definitely have its place and a great way to start the day. Any plans on this?

Love the idea and the site but dude, I can barely remember the name. If you ask me offline "Whats cool site to share links in real time" - I would respond , starts something with Sal or Sally. Google it..

@joehobot Actually it's too easy to remember I think. Sal + Yan + Goz :) Since it's kinda new word, it's not easy to remember at first, but you'll remember when you use more I think :)
Every morning I try to share some link on Salyangoz but I have to login first. I don't need re-login my email or my Twitter account or my Facebook account but I have to re-login Salyangoz account and its make me angry! Is there a way to fix this?
