How to share what I read
I have a list of clients and contacts who receive emails from me with articles from time to time. I use Furl to circulate links to these articles.
Let me know if you want to join the list and I can subscribe you or you can sign up yourself. My id is rcaroe
Here’s how Furl works
How is Furl different than a blog?
This is a good question. Folks who use blogs know that they can
accomplish similar things to Furl using blogging tools (especially with
some customization). But just because something is possible, that
doesn’t make it the right solution to the problem. Blogs are an amazing
breakthrough for personal, digital publishing. If you have something
original/insightful to say, blogs are your voice. On the flip side,
Furl is focused on the consumption of digital media (including blogs).
Many of us read hundreds of articles and other items online that
influence our thinking (or are just amusing). Furl is our memory.
Although Furl has some features that overlap with blogging tools, blogs
and Furl approach Internet content in a fundamentally different way.
Blogs focus on the content you create (which often contains links)
while Furl focuses on the content you consume (i.e. what the links
point to). This is why Furl offers powerful features such as archiving
and full-text search, which apply to the linked page but don’t make as
much sense in the blog space.We believe that serious bloggers will be some of the biggest users of
Furl. If you consume a lot of information through the Internet (as most
bloggers do), you need a way to "remember" (i.e. save and recall) what
you read, especially the most influential items. If you publish content
in a blog, you already understand the power of sharing your thoughts
with the public. Furl provides a turnkey solution to both of these
needs, allowing bloggers to focus on publishing new content while
saving and sharing their "latest reading" with their community at large.
