Bookmark terms

The short version

• You need to be 18 or older to take part.
• What you post is public, and you're sharing work you have the right to share.
• You keep ownership of your work. We can feature it to promote Bookmark and Show & Tell.
• We may use anonymized details from experiments and bookmarks in Bookmark research. Never your name without asking.
• One person, one account. No fake accounts or bookmark trading.
• The 2 most bookmarked experiments, plus 1 staff pick, are invited to present live at Bamboo.

Who can take part

You must be 18 or older to create an account, bookmark, or post. By signing in, you confirm that you are.

Posting

Your experiments, comments, name, bio, and links are shown publicly on the site. Only post work you're allowed to share, and leave out anything confidential, like client data or private company details.

Experiments and comments go live as soon as you share them. Anyone signed in can report an experiment or comment, and after 3 reports it's hidden until we review it. We may hide or remove experiments or comments that are off-topic, misleading, promotional spam, or unkind, at any time.

Your work

You keep all rights to what you post. You give us permission to show your experiment, name, and profile on this site, in the Bookmark newsletter, and on our social channels to promote Show & Tell.

If you present, the event may be photographed and recorded. You agree that we can share photos, video, and clips of your talk.

Research

Through the Bookmark newsletter, we research what people are trying in their work and what happens. We may use information from Bookmark and Show & Tell in that research, including details from experiments (what people tried and what happened) and activity on the site (like what gets bookmarks and comments, and how interest varies across topics).

We only publish combined, anonymous findings, like “marketing experiments drew the most bookmarks this quarter.” We won't publish your name, handle, experiment, or what you bookmarked as part of our research without asking you first.

Bookmarks

You can bookmark as many experiments as you like, once each. Use one account, and don't create fake accounts, buy or trade bookmarks, or use bots. If we see bookmark manipulation, we may remove bookmarks or disqualify a post. The organizers have the final say on results.

Presenting

When the board closes, the 2 most bookmarked experiments are invited to present at Bamboo, along with 1 staff pick chosen by the organizers, who have the final say on who presents. Each presenter gets 5 minutes to present and 5 minutes of Q&A, following the same format as their post: what they tried and what happened. You'll need to be there in person on the event date. If a presenter can't make it, we may invite the next experiment in line.

You can post as many experiments as you like, but you can present once per calendar quarter, and only one of your experiments can make the top 2 in an event. If you're already presenting that quarter, your experiments stay on the board for bookmarks and feedback but won't be invited to present.

Your information

We store your email, name, profile details, experiments, comments, bookmarks, reports, and email preferences. Your email, your bookmarks, and your reports aren't shown publicly. We only send you newsletters or updates you've opted into, and we don't sell your information. To delete your account, email us.

We use Fathom, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to count visits. It doesn't use cookies or track you across other sites. For the details, see our privacy policy.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. Experiments are covered by the version you agreed to when you submitted. Questions? Email hello@followbookmark.com.
