In a context where we are increasingly mobile and in which we use more and more connected devices, it is sometimes useful to be able to have your Internet favorites anywhere, on any machine... This is what a new online (and free) tool offers, the favorites manager papal !
But that's not all, since Papaly integrates a social dimension and allows you to share your favorites or links with the community... in this context, we almost discover a monitoring tool on very specific themes... but we will come back to that.
Indeed, the uses of Papaly are multiple!
Papaly, a very complete favorites manager
One of the great strengths of papal lies in managing your Internet favorites. Indeed, this is part of its mission.
When you start (and at any time), you will be able to import all the bookmarks present on your web browsers from a bookmarks file (Papaly explains browser by browser how to generate this bookmarks file). Practical to get started! You can also import popular bookmarks by selecting categories… but you risk ending up with a lot of waste that you can of course delete.
All your favorites are grouped by boards that you will create and organize as you wish… For example, you can create a board for your personal favorites and a board for your professional favorites. Or, organize your favorites by boards according to themes. Knowing that within the boards themselves, you can group your favorites by categories!
In addition, an interesting feature of this bookmark manager is the ability to share a "board" using a URL. You will thus be able to offer your friends or acquaintances a selection of your best links!
In short, there are plenty of possibilities for organizing your favorites! The tool is full of customization and management options that you will discover as you use it!
Papaly to keep watch on different themes
Another strength of Papaly is that it is, beyond a simple favorites manager, a fairly powerful thematic web monitoring tool. Indeed, you will be able to share your "boards" if you wish by making them public, but you will also be able to follow the "boards" of other users.
Some users offer more or less fixed tables, but others use it as a stream to share their best discoveries on the web as they go.
To find boards that interest you, there is an "Explore" button that allows you to search for "boards". At the moment, these shared boards are not numerous yet, but this should grow over time.
Papaly to keep track of links shared on your social networks
Finally, by connecting your social networks to Papaly (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Youtube), you will be able to retrieve the links of everything you have shared on these networks... which can be very practical!
Using Papaly, you can also access your bookmarks from any web browser or connected device. This allows you to easily find your favorite links, even when you are not on your usual computer. In addition, Papaly is regularly updated to offer new features and a better user experience.
In conclusion, Papaly is an excellent free toolbox for managing favorites, all with a very functional and ergonomic interface. However, you have to spend a little time setting it up and organizing it according to your needs... But you get nothing for nothing! To add urgently to your... favorites? The smartest thing might be to put it on the home page of your web browser!
