Yoono: Manage and share your favourites

Filed under: tools

Yoono is real easy to use and a powerful system for your favourite bookmarks, although you have to download the program I’d like it to be online like Chipmarks (although Chipmarks isn’t quite as sophisticated).
But what I like about Chipmarks is that it is portable, and that’s what we at least want in a web 2.0 environment, stuff to be web-based and even integrated into your browser, etc…of course along with sharing and discovery which Yoono is all about.

So what does Yoono do, well firstly export your favourites into Yoono

When you are done managing your bookmarks (sorting, discovering, sharing, adding, deleting, etc…) you can sync them back to your PC.

Filter for:

- empty folders
- watch folders of others (based on the same theme as one of your folders)
- share a folder/s (publish) allow people to subscribe to updates
- see duplicate URL’s in your collection
- make folders private (Yoono will not record its contents)
- check dead links

Make new folders, and delete folders/items

When you add bookmarks, you are automatically alerted about similar sites

Send an email of a bookmark or a folder of bookmarks, or copy it to paste as HTML

Search folder and bookmark titles

Search all of Yoono (social search engine)..results also return subject experts based on the keyword

Click on a folder or a bookmark, and click “See Suggestions” to see a list of similar stuff, then add these to your favourites
Even type in a URL, and see suggestions, it returns similar sites, and experts (published folders from other users)

Click on an expert and view they folders they are sharing (publish), subscribe away.
Search for users - find an expert (folders they publish)

In the community tab check “My Subscriptions” and there live your subscriptions and your publications (folders you share)

Then there is “My News”, this is an RSS Reader

- view by day, folder, all feeds, unread feeds
- add a feed
- filter

You can also host a forum or community based around the subject of your published folders

So the alert functions are:

- subscribing to your favourite feeds (as it has an RSS Reader component)
- subscribe to similar URL’s added by other users based on the theme of one of your bookmarks or folder/s
- subscribe to others users folders
- alerted of dead links

There is also a toolbar or bookmarklet to access similar sites and experts related to the page you’re browsing

You can import OPML files

Coming soon, from the website:

“Create your own press review (available soon)
Create your very own press review by publishing an RSS feed containing your comments on web sites, selections of articles you have read in your news and comments you have associated with your bookmarks.”
