Furl

Furl enabled members to bookmark, annotate, and share web pages. Topics were used to categorize saved sites, similar to the tagging feature of other social websites. Additionally, a user could write comments, save clippings, assign each bookmark a rating and keywords (which are given greater weight while searching), and have an option of private or public storage for each topic or item archived. Considered one of its main features, Toolbars and bookmarklets are available for Internet Explorer and Firefox to quicken the bookmarking process. ==Limitations==

Images which were embedded links were not archived with the HTML page. For example, when an HTML page was archived via Furl, the location of the JPG from the HTML content was saved, thus pulling up that image when the user's personal copy was loaded; however, if that image no longer exists on the original server, it was lost and will not display with the user's archived copy. So, a Furled site with many pictures could end up being just text. The search result displayed items from the entire Furl archive, or only from a user's own archive, but the sequence of these results was automatically ordered. There was no option to display results by date order, by popularity order, or in any other particular sequence. It was not obvious how the results are ordered. The popularity of Furl exposed users to performance problems which began in the latter half of 2006 and persisted into 2007. == Updates ==

New features were released in early 2007, including an updated user-interface. On January 30, 2008, Furl unveiled an updated user interface. Furl shut down its services on April 17, 2009. ==See also==
