Backflip
Backflip offers your own personalized webpage where you can save all your favorite links and search for sites that are interesting to you. On your page, Backflip lets you save your top ten sites, the ones you look at all the time, in an easy to find place. You can create folders and do your own personalized searches to find pretty much anything you’ve looked at before.
One of the best things about Backflip is that it’s user friendly. You can customize your settings so that Backflip will save each website you want into the right folder for you, and you don’t have to do anything. This makes it easy to organize and less time-consuming.
With Backflip, you have your own folders and also shared folders with your friends. This way you can see what they’re saving, and they can check out your finds.
The most popular stuff on Backflip includes useful sites, like “how to” sites, news (including tech news), personal finance and entertainment. There are lots of news sites on Backflip, and corporate websites.
One feature unique to Backflip is called “My Daily Routine.” With My Daily Routine, you can save all the sites that you look at on a daily basis. This might be your favorite news and sports sites, the things you look at constantly. With My Daily Routine, you can just flip through the sites. They’re easy to get to so that you don’t have to keep typing in the URLs each time.
With Backflip, you “backflip” links into your folders using a button on the toolbar of your internet browser. The button will work with Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers and you don’t have to be logged into Backflip to backflip stuff.
Backflip has shared folders where you and friends can connect and share sites, and it also has Show & Tell. With Show & Tell, you can share sites and comment on them. This is a convenient feature for sharing with friends, but can also be used as a way of networking with people who have similar interests.
Backflip doesn’t seem to mind you using their service to direct traffic to your site. There are a number of corporate websites in their most popular sites. Sites that contain useful information seem to be most popular with Backflip users.
If you have a website about high tech gadgets or computers, I’d say Backflip would be a great way to go.
