Jumptags, a little ahead of social bookmarking

by Chris Gilmer Aug 2nd 2007

Jumptags takes off where other social bookmarking tools might have left off. The web service not only allows users to collect, store, share and distribute web bookmarks, but it also does the same for notes, rss feeds and contact lists.

This Web 2.0 application is built with AJAX and officially jumped into beta at the end of April this year and has been achieving a nice following. Signing up for an account is of course free and only takes a minute.

Jumptags corporate blog is lacking a bit, and now that they are stirring up some attention, we hope they would increase the communication with users.

Other competitors in the marketplace include Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and Yahoo myweb.

Probably the best feature of Yahoo MyWeb (and I only need this at work, not at home) is that they've got a weblink to save bookmarks without going to the site. At home I've got all the buttons on my Firefox toolbars for Digg, Stumble, etc., but our corporate IT nazis don't give us access to install toolbars and such. Half the time normal plug-ins don't make it past our Berlin webwalls. I'm not a power user of any of these sites, but most of the things I bookmark I see at work and bookmark them to view later (DLS, Autoblog, etc.) at home. My .02.

iamhoff, you'd be glad to hear that Jumptags.com also supports a web link to save bookmarks (bookmarklet) without having to install the toolbar.

You can find the link and instructions to install after you log-in to your jumptags account under "My Jumptags" > "Toolbar & Add-ons".

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
