Using Springpad to Organize Your Life

I just heard about a new online tool recently called Springpad. It allows you to quickly organize and share a variety of bits and pieces of information that you collect throughout the day that are important to you and put them into defined structure and places.

The other benefit of Springpad is that it harnesses the power of the social networking world and allows you to interact with and share your collections of data with those that are important to you too.

I would say the power of Springpad doesn't rely in it's ability to collect your information though, it's more powerful in the way it allows you to organize, share and complement what you've saved with other important information that's related. This is the part of Springpad that impresses me and is both most helpful to me.

For example, I can save restaurants to my Springpad collection and there are integrated links for making reservations at that restaurant with OpenTable if available and restaurant reviews from Yelp as well.

For homemakers you can quickly and easily make meal-planning tasks as you go about your day, collect recipes, ask friends for cooking information and then allow Springpad to help build your shopping list automatically.

Springpad integrates with Gmail (for synching your contacts and Google calendar events), flickr for sharing and organizing your thoughts with or related to photos, Facebook to help you share information with your Facebook friends and of course with twitter so you can share links and have alarms and reminders sent to your own account.
