What is Wists?
Wists provides a way to find interesting stuff on the Web and visually bookmark it. You can also browse within the Wists community and bookmark other peoples' finds, if you want.
How does Wists work?
Wists couldn't be simpler. You sign up (free), and you can choose between searching through the Wists community for good bookmarks (and believe me, there's some really awesome stuff here), or, you can quickly drag and drop the Wists Toolbar in order to bookmark items on the Web to your collection.
What can I do with Wists?
The
Wists Blog has a good answer to this very question. You can:
- Search the web visually and bookmark search results.
- Create wishlists, birthday lists or wedding lists with pictures of products from any store on the web.
- Create thumbnail image galleries of your favorite things: books, movies cd’s, songs or photos.
- Website owners, use wists to embed an updateable gallery of products or items that you recommend, within your website, matching its look and feel.
- Create a personalized inbox where you can track items by user or keyword tags and add to your wists
- Bloggers. Make adding images and tags to your weblog posts as easy as bookmarking a webpage.
- Create communities around tags - have your friends on Wists use a particular tag, so that you can all track cool products and websites.
Why should I use Wists?
The biggest thing about Wists that impressed me was the addicting quality and variety of tagged bookmarks. It's like having your own personal shopper times 1000 (and they all come up with such incredible stuff!). Wists is a great way to explore small stores or individual vendors that don't necessarily get the big recognition; plus, it's a fun place to just do some window-shopping.
