Furl is a social book marking site that allows you to keep all your bookmarks in one spot on the web, so no matter where you are you can access the site you like or need. With these kinds of sites you can view what other people like and what web sites get book marked the most. Sharing is the most important part to this site in my opinion because if someone found something very useful while researching a certain topic then you can access it as well to get accurate information. I really liked this web site due to the numerous features it has, one thing that really caught my eye was that when you bookmark a site it saves that site so even if the site closes or is down for maintain then you still can have access to that site. Another few features I like are that you can incorporate 'tags' to each site so people can find what the need faster, you can comment on sites that you have visited so it helps other viewers to see if they could use it also, and you can give ratings to the site so people know whether it will help them or not. If you’re not into sharing which most people like to keep some sites a secret you can set them to private which means that it is only visible to the person who added the site to furl. When sharing a site furl makes it really easy to do so by allowing you to email the site after you have saved it to your account. This site also has another neat little addition called 'furlamtes' which are kind of like having friends on the web, the calculate your furlmate by comparing saving patterns so you will likely meet someone that looks at the same things as you do. When you are looking for a particular topic furl will recommend certain sites to aid in your research making it easy to find what you’re looking for. Most people will like the fact that with furl you can install a toolbar into Internet Explorer or Mozilla/Firefox, with the toolbar you can easily save pages, access the most popular parts of the furl web site, submit feedback, and search in furl, and the toolbar also contains helpful highlighting and pop-up blocking tools. Furl also has a news blog on the front page so people can see updates or any recent furl news. Furl was very easy to use and it makes it very easy to create topics due to the pre-created list of topics it provides.
I could not find anything I did not like about the site it is very straight forward and this is the site I am currently subscribed to. I would recommend Furl to anyone looking for a social book marking site that's very user friendly.
