The New York Times company has launched a new application that makes it easy to save web links and notes and synchronize them between multiple devices. ShifD has several components.

There's a web page where you can add notes in three categories: Links, places, and notes. You can also add a "ShifD This" browser bookmarklet that lets you instantly save any web page you're visiting to the Links category.

You can also run ShifD as an application using the Desktop client built on Adobe AIR. And you can also access and update your ShifD information from a mobile phone. There's a mobile version of the web page optimized for the iPhone and other small screen devices. Or you can send notes to your ShifD account via text messages.

ShifD is currently in public beta. The SMS updating feature isn't available yet, but should be rolled out within the next few weeks.
