eSnips new version officially launched!

After all the hard work during the past few months, eSnips new version is now open for everyone.
I'd like to thank everyone who sent us requests to sign up during the private beta, and a special thanks to everyone who sent us feedback - it was extremely valuable and we were very happy to see how many of you liked the new version. Please continue to send us your thoughts and comments.
We also received great feedback from Michael Arrington of TechCrunch who reviewed the new version.

So what is new?
The first version of eSnips gave you freedom, flexibility and control over what you can share, who you share it with, and how you share it.
The new version lets you find relevant sites and likeminded people easily and will bring people to you who share your interests.
As promised, here are the main new features in this version:

• Tagging
  Tag all your folders and everything you upload (files, videos, pics, web snippets, etc.) and through these tags find related content and people who share your interests.
• Search eSnips by tag
  Search eSnips by tag right from your desktop and browser so you can easily find related content and people.
• Simple blogging
  Keep a blog in your folder and post about your latest thoughts and ideas.
• Folder rating
  Now everyone can rate your shared folders and tell you exactly what they think of them. But remember: you can rate their folders too…
• Featured Folders on Homepage
  The "Featured Folders" on the eSnips homepage is where we showcase interesting, outrageous and cool public folders. A great way to get exposure and meet people who share your passions! So you'd better start working on your collections and create mind blowing collections.
• RSS support
  Now eSnippers can subscribe to your public folders and keep up to date with the changes you make to them.
• Submission to del.icio.us, Digg and more
  Your public folders can now be submitted to del.icio.us, Digg, Blinklist and others so that everyone can enjoy them.
• The eSnips Uploader
  The new eSnips Uploader includes quick uploading from desktop and an easy-to-use toolbar for snipping content from the web. Once you start using it you won't understand how you ever managed without it.
• Enhanced user profile
  The new user profile allows you to give a more detailed description of yourself. Providing more information about yourself will help other people know who you are and what you are interested in.

So what makes eSnips unique?
That's an easy one.

• At eSnips the focus is on YOU and on what your sharing needs are.
• eSnips doesn't limit you to a certain type of content – you can share & publish anything. Not only pictures, not only links – ANYTHING.
• You can create as many personal or shared 'spaces' as you want – they are ALL in ONE place so you don't have to keep bouncing from one service to the next (we assume you like convenience).
• You control what you keep personal, what you share with a private group and what you make public (we assume you like flexibility too).
• eSnips is connected to your desktop – with the eSnips Uploader we made it easy for you to upload files, snip the web and search eSnips right from your desktop.

So what are you waiting for? Join, sign in, and start having fun on eSnips right now!

If you can add a Firefox extension toolbar instead of an EXE, you'll have me hooked. I'll switch from clipmarks.com in a second. 'Till then, I'll stick with them.

I don't see an explanantion anywhere on esnips telling me how I can invite friends to view share my private folders. Can someone please explain the proceedure for this? Thanks, - S.

Steve,
To invite people to a private/group folder, start by signing into your account and going to one of your private/group folders. On the top right, you'll see the option "Manage Members" under "Things you can do."
You'll then be able to send a personal invitation to the folder and to see who has accepted your sent invitations so far.
Enjoy!
