Not sure yet. Apologies if it's so. I am enjoying Furl without knowing what del.i.cio.us. is or does. Furl is easy. It's relatively uncluttered. I am using it to organise narratives that will be accesible to other researchers. It is my collection of footnotes and sources, to be fleshed out with text at a later date. On that basis it would be nice to see organising tools: a method of creating/importing a classification scheme, a method of sequencing links. A blog inverted. Given that this is much the same as items 4, 7, 9 & 10, and that it's been a few weeks since the post, I'm wondering if there are any tools that can assist the process I've described.

I've come across many interesting sites by checking out recent Furls or hot Furls and I want to return the favour. My latest promtion bug is the Dvorak keyboard layout, an ergonomic alternative to qwerty, which I'm also <a href="http://home.planet.nl/~broug007/writing/dvorak/">blogging</a> on.

I don't tend to put everything there, but when I find something that is both interesting and has depth I furl it. I also like the "my recommendations" (under "my archive") ~ if I ever have some free surfing time I always start there, its a great springboard. For general breadcrumbs I use www.ikeepbookmarks.com which is a kind of online Favorites (which is available at home or at Work). Thanks for the pointer, I would not have found it but for your newsletter. Paul I use Furl for the cream of surfing.

I created some categories, like medicine, ICT, advertising etc..., under which I store the different links. What I need now is a good tool to take notes while I'm surfing. Any suggestion? :-) In the past I used the wondeful My e-notes, but it doesn't work under IE6. Hi, I use Furl basically to organize the glossaries I find online. I created some categories,
