I like this, setup was smooth. However, I almost didn't bother due to the lack of screenshots. The video was not that persuasive; I decided to take a chance on it because this is an area where I've been actively looking for a better solution for s couple of years now. I just urge you to put some of the textual information shared here onto the website itself.
Oh, and why can't I import my existing and voluminous bookmark collection?

We introduce a twist. We want users to own their own tracking cookie alternative (which is what Been user data can become). We will not share user data with third parties. Instead, Been will facilitate the voluntary exchange of data between users and companies. We think this is a better way, and bookmarking is a good place to start.
Been is fully functional regardless of whether people ever choose to share their data with companies. Our alternative to cookies is “merely” a byproduct but an important option that is available whenever users become comfortable with this new approach and companies prepare for a different way to get their message to customers.
One more thing, for the month of December, we are conducting 3 weekly drawings for new iPad Mini Retinas for users (“Magic Been Hunt”). Directions are posted @beenpod. To play, you just need to add a designated URL (to be tweeted) to your Been collections by the weekly deadline using our add-on.
Thanks!
