Thing 7: Content Saving and Sharing

Ok so this one proved to be something new for me, even though I thought I had a handle on all things "cloud" related.

I already have Pinterest and use it pretty frequently (ok, a bit TOO freqently). I decided to pass on looking into this app more.

Instead, I decided to research other options for saving info as I wasn't sure which app would be best for that type of thing besides Pinterest. I read several blogs and decided to try Bitly out.

I downloaded it and was playing around with it and then realized, "gosh" it takes a long time to organize all my favourite links and pages.

I went back to one of the blogs I was reading and it said this: "I can save way more time by simply Googling whatever favourite thing I want instead of opening 7 folders, all subdivided, with the link to that one article about surfing in Hawaii".

I agree. Although I am a huge fan of using categorization and organization of your favourite articles and websites, etc., Google is a wizard. A mega fast wizard. And this wizard remembers everything you've ever searched before on your device and can get it up double time if you've searched it previously.



So there. No content saving and sharing app for me, besides my beloved Pinterest.

P.S. After posting this "Thing" I Googled myself and found my Pinterest account publicly available, with a plethora of pins and boards I'd made. Not too sure how I feel with my name and image (albeit it's the back of my head) being publicly available. Might make it private shortly.
