Think of this as a post holiday gift. I'm calling it Show and Tell Friday. During the break I stumbled across a couple of new tools ( at least they are new to me) that I thought I would share.
Are they really new? Probably not. I just hadn't heard of them. My friends hadn't forwarded any info on them, and so I found out about them the new -fashioned way by googling throughout the holiday break.
Having no idea how well known these tools are, I thought I'd share for the benefits of latebloomers everywhere.
Returnpath.net This tool/service allows you to do several things. Lost a friend's email?You can put it in return path and they will find it for you. Then, they'll send an email to the long lost friend and ask if them if they want to share their new address.
When I signed up for the service, I got a ton of "lost" emails. It's allowed me to reconnect with some folks that I haven't talked to in years and I'm planning on doing lunch with several. Very fun.
The other tool is LookSmart's Furl which bills itself as your personal web file.
"Furl will archive any page, allowing you to recall, share, and discover useful information on the Web. Browse your personal archive of Web pages, and subscribe to other archives via RSS."
This is a great tool for those of us who are folder-challenged and who have mini panic attacks each time we search for something in our "Favorites".
If you are using these tools, please share your thoughts. And, if you have some tools that you think others would be interested in, let me know. If I get a good response, I'll host another Show And Tell Friday in the near future.
