• [Kaboodle ]
  • "Kaboodle was founded by three guys with the same frustration: collecting and sharing on the web is hard. Even a simple thing like planning a trip or deciding where to eat can get messy. Every little research project on the web turns into a process of cutting and pasting into emails, word documents and spreadsheets. Sharing information is even harder: email a few comments, later find new related online information, email with more comments, and finally end up with several pieces and parts that are difficult to put together in a simple concise view. They knew things could be done better, faster, smarter and a heck of a lot easier. So Manish, Keiron, and Chetan took it upon themselves to create an online service that would simplify life for everyone on the web...and Kaboodle was born. Kaboodle's mission is to make it easy to collect, organize, and share information for shopping, travel or any other research. Kaboodle's free service is extremely simple: Capture anything you find on the web with one click; Our powerful information extraction technology summarizes the page for you; Your information is organized on a single Kaboodle list that is easy to share; Every item on the list allows for easy ranking, rating, and comments."

• [LocalDeli]
  • A Windows-based freeware application that provides fast access to your del.icio.us bookmarks through a simple search interface. After you log in and update your bookmarks, you can search your bookmarks by tags, description or all content through the dynamic as-you-type search box. The dynamic "All" search provides an excellent way to get to narrow down your bookmarks to find exactly what you're looking for, and you can even navigate the application using keyboard shortcuts. Mac-based freeware that performs similarly is Delibar. A Windows alternative is: Deliwin.

• [Orgoo]
