If that ever happens to be the case, it is quite likely that any of the many to-do lists managers and online organizers will do the trick. A new one that has just surfaced goes by the name of Springpad, and you can reach it at SpringpadIT.com. In general terms, a springpad is a notebook that you can use to keep track of notes of every denomination, as well as including materials such as photographs and maps. The site will let you have your choice from pre-defined Springpads that cater for different purposes, and some of the existing ones include “Project Budget Tracker”, “Pet Information Tracker” and even a “Thanksgiving Menu Planner” and a “Christmas Card Log”. As you can, see, there is a wide range to choose from, and it is even possible to create your very own Springpad by following the pertinent link. This web-based solution has recently been launched, and work is still underway. The service is being upgraded constantly, but all the necessary features for getting everything in order are already implemented. As a conclusion, it can be said that a visit to the site is certain to help you cope with any organizational issues you might have to face. Useful now that the holidays are almost here and there is a lot to take care of. Read more: http://www.killerstartups.com/Web20/springpadit-com-self-organization-made-supple#ixzz0Texkc7U1 Date.

Diddit

Overview

new site launching today to the public, is looking to help you check off all the things you’ve done with your life, and discover new things that you’d like to do. The site allows users to browse through thousands of activities in categories ranging from the bars you’ve visited to “Bizarre Retro Candies” you’ve eaten at one time or another. To coincide with the launch, Ludic Labs, the company behind Diddt, has also announced that it has closed a $5 million funding round led by Accel Partners with KPG Ventures also participating. At first glance, the site seems a little pointless – I don’t particularly care if my friends know that I’ve eaten Pop Rocks during my lifetime or that I’ve visited AT&T park (though I should note that I had similar thoughts when I first discovered Twitter). But after exploring the site a little more thoroughly, I can see why it might become very addictive. For one, it’s a great place to look if you’re trying to think of things to do during a day trip or a night out on the town. Interested in California’s Gold Rush? Check out the list of historic museums, parks, and landmarks that focus on just that. Want to experience Polynesian culture in the San Francisco Bay Area? They’ve got a list for that too. But the site isn’t just focused on destinations – it has sections for just about everything you could have experienced, including books, movies, games, and foods. If you’ve discovered a new author you’re interested in, there’s a decent chance you’ll be able to find a collection of their best works, along with reviews from other users. Every item in a list – be it a book or an amusement park – has its own profile, which offers a listing of user reviews, ratings, and other essential information (the profiles are very similar to those seen on Yelp). And while today is the site’s first official unveiling, it has quietly built up a user-base of 10,000 who have shared 750,000 items, so there’s plenty to read about. Diddit shares many features in common with a number of other sites (for example, Yelp offers a huge library of user reviews and lists, as does Amazon). But its broad scope and already-thriving community may help it get a foothold, especially if it can acquire dedicated users who genuinely care about building up a list of their accomplishments (diddits) and To-Dos (wannados).
