Guess who's the "Top Site of the Day?" Xerpi! A web-reviewing site concluded that Xerpi "is a great site with a great idea."

"Their slogan is 'to make the internet a simpler place,' and they have done just that."

But besides the rave reviews for the concept behind Xerpi, I'm excited that they also liked the finished results! Their reviewer announces that Xerpi "has a great feel and is well organized... You will be very pleased with this site if you are into keeping track of all the great sites you come across..."

And if you watch closely, you can even spot Xerpi founder Con Way Ling making a visit to the comments and sharing his philosophy. ("We want to keep things simple, clean and relevant.") And that's exactly the thing they noticed over at a site called Web 2 New York.

"Xerpi's drag and drop interface is another feature that could set the site apart in the crowded social bookmarking field."

But what's really significant is that everyone's talking about Xerpi. My family's using it, my friends are using it, and at the technology site Center Networks, Allen Stern even did a video review of Xerpi. ("I think I'm pronouncing it correctly...")

Allen says we're like other favorites sites ...but prettier! "It just looks a lot better... Much cleaner, much prettier, etc." And I'd just finished watching him say that Xerpi's public views are "fabulous" when I noticed that Xerpi even drew an enthusiastic response from one of his readers.

"Great! At last a bookmark manager with the possibility to re-arrange individual bookmarks! This is missing in almost all similar services out there.."

And what are they saying at PuntoGeek?

"Una vez importados se muestran en forma de módulos que podemos organizar por pestañas de acuerdo a las temáticas que tengan. Además podemos crear módulos con tags, esto permite resaltar ciertos enlaces de los tags que hayamos especificado. Por ejemplo, insertamos en el título del módulo “Blogs”, luego especificamos unos tags, como “gadgets, internet, internet”, y en ése módulo se mostrarán enlaces que contengan esos tags."

Whoops! I forgot that the internet is an international community. But I ran it through the Spanish-to-English translator at Babelfish, and got a delightfully fractured interpretation.

"Once mattered they are in form of modules that we can organize by eyelashes according to the thematic ones which they have..."

I think the basic message is that with Xerpi, you can organize your favorites by dragging them into blocks — but something got lost in translation.

And another message is that people are trying out Xerpi everywhere. There's a web site called "Killer Startups" in Guatemala — and they liked Xerpi too!

Xerpi.com has an attractive interface; it is simple, but creative and eye catching...

The public views are a nice way of sharing information and favorite sites...

The site is easy to navigate and contains very little clutter...

But out of all the comments we've received, this one is probably my favorite.

The logo with the tiny green heart serving as the dot for the 'i' is very cute!
