A while back (okay, we're talking years) I used Delicious to collect and sort all my bookmarks together in one place. When Delicious went down I stopped collecting bookmarks for a while and even though it was re-launched in 2011 by Yahoo! I still remained reluctant to bookmark stuff. (I must admit though that I was never much of a keen bookmarker in the first place.)
Anyway, a couple of months ago @crystalibrary introduced me to Springpad and I've found myself using it increasingly often each week. What I like best about Springpad is how I can create themed notebooks, arrange them in a particular order, and even manipulate their various colour schemes, etc. Oh yeah, and I can bookmark urls, create notes (or other productivity related events), save images, files, tv shows, wine lists, books, music, movies... I get excited just thinking about it!
I've got notebooks for shopping lists (yes, I know, how mundane), recipes (okay so I cheated a simply bookmarked taste.com.au, this site is a winner I can tell you), library stuff (hey, it's my job), notes to self (read: to-do-list), writers and writing, gaming, and even a gadget wishlist (*sigh*).
It's fun. Mostly because I now find myself in the habit of discovering something new, funny, and brilliant online and immediately thinking "oh, I must go and spring that right now", and I do.
My Springpad is still in its early stages but I can certainly see me using it well into the future and maybe even creating a notebook titled "Done".
