Symbaloo

Principal function(s): Bookmarking

Symbaloo is an online based platform that allows users to organize, categorize and store their preferred or most visited websites on one page. Similar to a browser’s homepage, it enables saving often visited websites or pages with content one wishes to check later. Evaluation: Unlike a regular homepage of a browser, Symbaloo allows one to categorize and create pages with bookmarked websites, according to their content. For instance, one can list all your “News” websites on one side of the screen and on the other all your preferred “Shopping” websites. Symbaloo is quick and easy to use and its layout is more easily searchable than a regular browser homepage.

Cost: Free with registration + paid premium options
