Even then the product didn't get on a good footing until a year after that, when we came out with a product that did a lot more than any of our previous products. But I learned a lesson I would never forget. Even when you aren't actually taking features out of a product, you can't appear to the users to be doing that. They will make you pay for it. #

Bookmark something tagged shortcut:foo, include a %s placeholder in the URL, then search for "!foo bar" and be redirected to the bookmarked URL with %s replaced by "bar". Good for search engine URLs and other command-line-esque URLs. It becomes especially handy if you have Delicious search installed in your search bar. This particular bookmark shows other bookmarks tagged with the shortcut: convention
