It’s hard to believe that it was less than a year ago that I launched Quocial. I really thought it might be the Next Big Thing in social book­mark­ing: Twitter-​​like sim­plic­ity plus Delicious-​​like flex­i­bil­ity and Google-​​class full-​​text search. And you know, it might have been. (The only site doing anything similar right now is Diigo, which feels over­whelm­ingly complex. I’ve taken to using Google Book­marks, which is simple but non-​​social. I believe that the social book­mark­ing space is still wide open.) But I made a choice: When the academic year began, I chose to focus on classes, and Quocial fell into a state of disrepair.

Now my focus is moving back to the web, but I’ve moved on. Social book­mark­ing is not on the agenda. Which means it’s time to salvage what I can from Quocial. There­fore, I’m auc­tion­ing the Quocial​.com domain, as well as some related domains and the @Quocial handle on Twitter. They’re all avail­able as a bundle on Flippa. Here’s the link.

By bidding, you’re not just getting your hands on a great domain (one of only a handful of pro­nounce­able 2-​​syllable .coms left). You’re also sup­port­ing my next endeavor, a webapp that promises to make science more col­lab­o­ra­tive, more demo­c­ra­tic, and more fun. Please spread the word.
