Eleven months after Aaron Peters and Arne Dibbits pushed Bemba in the open beta phase, the social bookmarking service heads to the feared deadpool. 15 minutes ago, Peters used a “Tweet bomb” to share the bad news with his 278 followers:
It’s sad to see Bemba leave the social bookmarking stage. The two kind guys aimed for people who don’t why complicated services, they just want to get the job done. After users have installed the Bemba plugin — there’s no bookmarklet — they can share anything entertaining they find on social networks with just two clicks.
Apparently, this didn’t appeal to enough people for Bemba to survive these harsh economic times. I wish the Dutch entrepreneurs all the best with their future endeavors.
Let me conclude with a quote by Benjamin Franklin:
‘I haven’t failed, I have had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.’
Thanks for the writeup EJ.
I wish you all the best at NRC.
See you tomorrow at Bowlr!

Thanks for your help to Bemba Ernst-Jan. You’re a champ!
@Igor, almost! :-) There in the same paragraph from Paul Arden’s book
Edison, who invented the light bulb, told his colleagues: ‘Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something I was able to incorporate to the next attempt.’ Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman an scientist once said: ‘I haven’t failed, I have had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.’
I’m sorry about Bemba. Hope Arne and Aaron will continue to pursue their dreams.
But Ernst-Jan,
Isn’t that Benjamin Franklin quote in fact from Thomas Edison?
