PopScreen: Bookmarking Tool for Online Videos

PopScreen is a new bookmarking tool that is focused on online videos and live web shows. It is a quick and simple way to bookmark your favorite TV shows, movies, webcasts, news clips, music and viral videos from hundreds of online sources. You can simply stash your online show in PopScreen and view them all in one place.

There is already quite a number of bookmarking tools and services out there that you can use to bookmark videos as well as web pages. If you are asking why one would need another bookmarking tool, the answers are quite simple – it will allow you to dump all your videos in one place to prevent your current bookmarking site from being congested and it lessens the time it takes to browse your favorite videos that are stored along with your other links. You can also get notifications in order to keep tabs on your favorite live shows when they go on air.

The service allows you to import 2000 videos from accounts on YouTube, Vimeo, Digg, Twitter and many others in just a few minutes. This way you won’t have to transfer them manually to your new PopScreen account. If you happen to receive emails containing links to videos from friends, you can simply forward them the emails and they will keep track of the videos for you.

PopScreen is a great new tool for those who love to keep track of online videos and live streams. It is simple yet powerful and a convenient way of cataloging your favorite online videos. If you want to separate viewing materials from your reading materials, sign up for an account and pop some videos.

Later This Bookmarking Service

LaterThis is another bookmarking service which lets you easily bookmark a page for later viewing. The service is very simple and works with any browser. No installation is required and the interface is clean, clutter free and very minimal. It is a great alternative to other bookmaking services if you are looking for something fresh.

To use the service, simply drag the LaterThis bookmarklet to your bookmark toolbar and then you can start bookmarking. Another bookmarklet (my LaterThis) is available so you can easily access your saved links. Bookmarking using LaterThis is just like using other popular bookmarking services out there. Click the bookmarklet and it will forward you to the bookmark page. You can place a comment for that particular link and add tags to easily search your bookmarks in the future. After saving your link, LaterThis will bring you back to the original page you are browsing.

The service also provides a small screen shot of the bookmarked page for visual reference. You can mark a link with a star to add it your favorite links. A date and time is also provided along with the links to show when you made the bookmark. You can easily mark a link as read and delete it if it has served your purpose. LaterThis also allows you to share your LaterThis saved links to del.ico.us. LaterThis does not have a social networking feature. Its main purpose is for you to access a saved link for later viewing. Simple as that.

Tip: You might also want to try alternative bookmarking services like  Mento or Netrocket.

Mento: A Fresh New Bookmarking Service

There are lots of link sharing sites out there but Mento thinks that it could be better and simpler for users. Mento provides a lightweight, non-intrusive solution for easy bookmarking, sharing and tagging.

To use Mento, just register and download the Firefox or Internet Explorer extensions, or use their bookmarklet which works on all browsers. When you click the bookmarklet or Mento button, a small popup window will appear asking which Mento service you would like to use. The send feature will allow you to send the links (along with images and comments) to your Mento friends, groups, tags or email buddies. The save feature will generally save the link to your mento profile allowing you to place tags, images and notes along with the link. The reply feature will allow you to comment on the link(s) provided that it has already been saved by somebody in your network. This will also keep track of the linking activities of your Mento friends whether they have previously saved a particular link which will prevent duplicate link sharing in your network. The site also keeps track on how many times a link you’ve shared has been clicked, and which members have clicked it.

Mento also offers outside link sharing by allowing you to publish links to del.icio.us, FriendFeed, Magnolia, Tumblr, and Twitter. They also have a Facebook app that allows friends to view and comment on your links without having to install the application themselves. You can also use the AddThis widget to publish your links on other bookmarking sites. Talk about not being selfish.

Mento is another addition to the numerous social bookmarking services in the internet. The site is fresh looking and packed with sharing features which are also user friendly. If you are in the market for an alternative bookmarking service, Mento is definitely worth checking out.

Iminta What?

It’s hard to keep track of what your friends are into nowadays, especially online. With so many discovery sites, online games and social networks out there, checking out each and everyone of them can be time consuming.

Iminta hopes to give a solution in keeping in touch of the growing number of social services in the internet. It’s a social service that lets you keep in track of your friends’ social network activities and at the same time sharing yours. Iminta will let you plug all the sites that you are using into one service. A single profile of all the stuff you’re doing online will be created for you and you can choose from a list of popular services like YouTube, Flickr, Stumbleupon, Digg and many others to add to your profile. You don’t have to register in all you friends social service to share photos, videos, articles and other internet stuff. The service also lets you control what your friends sees from your profile and what you see from theirs. This will prevent clutter in profiles especially from heavy twitter users.

The service also lets you add content to your profile by using their “Iminta It” bookmarklet. If you find a website or a page that interests you and want to share it with your Iminta friends, just highlight the article or page and click on the bookmarklet and click add then the content along with the URL will be added your profile. You can also get your profile in one RSS feed and place it in your blog and other social accounts that supports RSS and get updates of your friends’ via email and RSS feeds.

This is an interesting and potentially useful site to watch out for. The website is still in invite only beta, you can sign up for an invitation at their site or get an invitation from me and share to me the stuff that you’re “inta”.

NetRocket For Easy Bookmark Management

Are you finding it hard to manage your bookmarks scattered in different bookmarking sites and your browser? Here’s something that can make your life easier when it comes to managing your bookmarks:

NetRocket is a bookmarking service where you can easily bookmark a page through your browser. Sounds pretty ordinary, but the interesting thing about this web service is the way it lets you categorize your bookmarks for easier searching and management. You can even schedule your book mark to appear on a specific date or on a recurring basis of your choice. You may find a website that updates on a regular basis, is running an auction/sale/deal/article of interest at some advertised point in the future, or that you’d like to visit at regular intervals.

NetRocket also features a tag cloud of your keywords for your bookmarks. It also lets you import your bookmarks from your browser into NetRocket by using the import/export tool. Privacy is not an issue in NetRocket for you can set your bookmarks to be viewed publicly or choose to keep it to your self. If you choose to keep a URL private then it will not show in your bookmark RSS feed.

Another thing that I like about NetRocket is the interface. It is user-friendly with a nice and clean look which makes managing easier. An additional feature called hot destinations adds usability to the site by letting the user discover new sites by displaying their Top Five Tags, Top Ten Bookmarks and a list of recent additions to NetRocket. If you are a bookmark freak, maybe you should give it a try.
