Name dropping… er, “sharing”

By kate on May 4th, 2005

Thanks to my job at a software startup in the “folksonomy” and social networking arena, I’ve been paying more attention to the interesting new websites out there. Suddenly, I find myself mentioning my new finds to people on a pretty much daily basis. I thought it might be worthwhile to make a list of all the cool new sites I’ve been using to share stuff (tangible and intangible). If you haven’t seen them, they’re worth checking out:

NEW AND EXCITING

Trumba (calendars)

43 Things (goals and dreams)

del.icio.us (bookmarks)

Spurl (bookmarks; integrates with del.icio.us)

Bloglines (blogs)

PERSONAL CONNECTION
(I use these because of a personal connection as well as how good they are)

Jobster (job opportunities)

Vazu (cell phone contacts)

SuperBorrowNet (your friends’ stuff)

OLDIES BUT GOODIES
(These have been around for a few years but still deserve a mention)

Wikipedia (reference info)

Evite (event info)

Bookcrossing (books)
