I built this in about three days using the laconica microblogging platform.
Basic idea is that you grab the bookmarklet (in the "post" section) and then can add images to your account in two clicks from whatever website your on.
I'd been looking for a good image bookmarking site to use but they are either invite only (ffffound.com) or too cluttered / too many features (weheartit.com, vi.sualize.us).. so I thought I'd make one myself. Feature wise, the only thing new to image bookmarking this brings is the friend following feature.. but I'm hoping imgfave can succeed by staying really simple/easy to use and fast.
If the bookmarklet is the heart of getting images bookmarked, it shouldn't be in the "Post" section. It should promoted on every page, especially the home page where it should be accompanied with some instructions.
I agree, I will be adding a box on the homepage that gives new users an idea of what the site is all about and displays the bookmarklet. Thanks for the feedback!

This sentence should be someplace visible on the home page.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
