Sqworl Lets You Send a Slew of URLs with One Link

Links, links, links. Half the e-mails in my inbox contain an unwieldy list of links, the fruits of someone’s research into some project or other. Sqworl lets you combine a bunch of links into a single link that takes you to a sort of online bookmark, complete with thumbnail previews of all the pages you’re linking to.

You can register for free and then make a group into which you can add any number of URLs. Each link gets its own thumbnail preview, and you can then send co-workers one tidy link to the group instead of sending a page of gibberish-y URLs.

You don’t even have to register to use Sqworl, but then you don’t get the ability to edit your groups afterwards. Sqworl is not going to cure cancer or bring forth world peace, but it’s a clever idea, and a much neater, more organized way to share links.

    You make a good point. Jeff. But I see this coming in handy when I need to quickly conference with someone who isn't already registered at a conferencing site I would typically use. A good little tool to have in your pocket.

    I love it! I often have to direct prospects to parts of web pages to view demo links of our products, and would send emails with 4 or 5 hyperlinks embedded in explanations of what they should look for. I used it 3 times in the first 24 hours with great results!
