Kaboodle: Saving and Commenting on Websites

I just came across Kaboodle this week. It makes use of the idea of "social" sites on the 'net, where not only can you get something out of the site, but you can invite others to share their opinions as well.

With Kaboodle, you add a toolbar to your browser window, with two buttons: Add to Kaboodle , and My Kaboodle. Then you're ready to start Kaboodling! OK, ummm...what's that? OK, check it out...

You're on the web. You come across a page you think is particularly nifty. You click on your 'Add to Kaboodle' button. Kaboodle then creates a sumamry of the page. You can then come back to it at any time by clicking on the 'My Kaboodle' button. Also, at the time the page summary is created, you can add notes. Finally, on the Kaboodle site, there is a Share Page option that allows you to share what pages you're Kaboodling with the world. Then, I could see that page, add my own comments, and so on. That's the "social" part of the process.

My brief run-down doesn't do justice to the nice intro they give to the site. The link below will take you to the 'How It Works' section of the site. Click on the links for how it works step-by-step, and for the FAQ. Happy Kaboodling!
