Drag the following buttons into your Favourites, or right-click and "Add to Favourites" and Create In "Favourites Bar" for Internet Explorer.
One of the things bothering us and some of you was that when you pressed FavitNow you didn't get a nice popup window in which to bookmark your links, and it seemed a little confusing having every option on one screen.
So our tools now feature popup windows and a more visually pleasing interface, aswell as providing increased functionality. For example, you can now email links to non-favilous users or to your own email address. We have also integrated Bit.ly into our Twitter interface. We hope you agree the new tools are an improvement.
What this means is that you will have to reload your bookmarking tools in your Favourites bar - FavitNow, FavitLater and TweetLink. But this will be the last time we ask you to do this because we've written the bookmarklets in such a way that we can modify them in future without you having to reload them. Please note that you may need to modify your browser to allow popups from Favilous; refer to our Help page for more information.
What else? We've also fixed a few bugs in response to some feedback and changed the Sites page to include more bookmarks from the community. Thanks to Blogging Tips for publishing a review and in particular to Charnita Fance for her kind comments and helpfulness. And also thanks to other people for their kind words, for example Nihilist's comments on the Blogging Tips review, and Disillusionized and others for promoting us on Twitter. We're also pleased to see an increase in users and regular activity. Thanks.
What's coming up? We have such a long list of things we would like to do and you have sent in some of your wishlist aswell. We are currently prioritising! We have one exciting feature which we are putting to the top of the list - the ability to bookmark as part of a network of people with a common interest or shared purpose.
As ever we welcome your feedback. If you don't want to fill in the feedback form, then send us an email!

We're really pleased with both the number of users which signed-up and the feedback we received from users and the various websites which reviewed Favilous! Particular mentions goto YCombinator, Killer Startups, What's New and those on Twitter posting links to Favilous.
One of the best questions we received was "What makes you different from Delicious". It's a question we expected. We'll try to answer this... We are simple, stylish and we separate websites from the articles you view within them. Our look and feel is completely different. Also, one of our beliefs is that you shouldn't have to synchronise your favourite sites across multiple browsers and computers. We are here to allow you to take your favourites with you and bookmark on the move via our FavitLater bookmark tool for example! So we are a bit like your browser and a bit like Delicious and other similar services.
Onto the updates and the fixes...
Finally, we'll just say a simple thanks to our new community for signing-up! A reminder that you can submit feedback to us, which we would really like to continue hearing so we can evolve Favilous into something which works best for our community.
NOTE: PLEASE RE-ADD OUR BOOKMARKING TOOLS TO YOUR BROWSER. APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE ARE EVOLVING THESE TOOLS AND THEY MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME.

So after what seems like an eternity of designing, coding, refining, coding, testing, coding some more and so on, we've launched our Beta product. Our aims in producing this site are to offer something a little bit different, a bit more visually impacting than the rest of the bookmarking sites out there and something which is easy to use.
Our focus from this point on will be listening and responding to user feedback and looking at integrating with other sites out there. Please be sure to provide your feedback so we can develop and refine the site further.
Our thanks to those out there who have helped us with this venture! You know who you are.
We will soon have our first user producing his own blog to tell you about his experiences of using Favilous, or anything else he cares to mention ! Be on the lookout.
