YC-Backed Kippt Launches Collaborative Bookmarking App To Become The GitHub For Links

Last fall, Finnish designers Jori Lallo and Karri Saarinen soft-launched a simple bookmarking tool called Kippt that aimed to give users a more elegant way to store their information on the Web. At the time, Kippt was just a side project, as Lallo was working with Pownce founder Leah Culver on Convore, the YC-backed message board app. Since March, the founders have been focusing on their bookmarking app full time, developing a plan to take the app beyond bookmarking with the goal of changing the way people collect, share and discuss links and online information. Today, the startup is launching the next phase of its vision: A new version of the app, which sees it move from being a simple utility tool to a collaborative service that allows users to co-create lists, add comments, and share them publicly with the Kippt community.
