Organizing

Meaki

Meaki allows you to clip, organize and share web pages into a visually engaging Clipset. It is similar to other pinboard applications like Pinterest, but allows users to clip entire websites rather than just images and organize them in a sharable, visual collection. Meaki has a built in social component, clipsets are public and can be browsed by anyone. Meaki is a brower application. Just make an account on Meaki.com and put the “Bookmark Button” in your bookmarks toolbar. Once you come to a webpage you want to clip, click on the Meaki button, and it will guide through clipping and saving the page. Features: Simple and easy to use. Save webpages for later viewing purposes – never loose a website you love. Search other clippings and Clipsets on Meaki to find new and interesting websites. *NB At the time this review was written (Nov 10/14) the Meaki.com website was not online and no message about the future of the service was available.

Collaboration

Media Share

There is an unlimited number of videos, PDFs, etc. that can be used for education, training, instruction, or professional development. Finding and curating them into playlists, integrating with existing workflow, and sharing with others is time consuming, inefficient, and often limited by ‘vendor lock-in.’ Media Share is a productivity tool that saves time, requires no training to use, and does not limit how or where content can be used.
