Collectably is a content curation web app which allows you to bookmark any web site and to organize it into visual collections. A unique Chrome extension makes Collectably particularly useful as it pioneers the ability to save all of your open tabs into a visual collection that you can immediately prune, organize visually and sub-divide into specific groups. This feature by itself is worth gold for any serious researcher or content curator as it allows to easily move from seeing just trees into seeing the whole forest and into organizing into logical groups for further work. Priceless. If you frequently search and explore new information and tools online, I highly recommend it. It's that good. Free to use. Try it out now: http://collectably.com/ Chrome extension and Bookmarklet: http://collectably.com/#/tools N.B.: You have by default a similar functionality available inside Firefox. It is called Group Tabs and you can activate it by goign to the View menu -> Toolbars -> Customize and by dragging the mosaic looking Tab Group icon into your browser top bar. Try it. It's excellent. The only difference with Collectably is that Group Tabs are private to you and not shareable on the web.

If you use Chrome, you can collect several open tabs at once with this extension -- great way to save your place if you have to quite while in the middle of researching something, but also a good way to package disparate sources of information together. |
1.) changed headline (way better than the original)
2.) Photo to illustrate headline
3.) Summarized the key points
4.) Added additional links from the source
5.) Shared it through channels
Thank you so much for referencing my work and for highlighting, as we all must learn to do more often, the good stuff you found in it.
I like this.
Long ago, in a former life, I used to get newspaper articles passed to me each day that were relevant to my job and/or my aspirations. I would take the necessary hour or so each day to remain current with world affairs related to what I did or where I wanted to go.
Curation is a lot like that except it is more global in concept.
This article talks about how to do this in the best way.
