The baddest BAAGZ

So I changed my mind, maybe Searchme is good for just simple searches, but the BAAGZ application is where the fun and organization comes in. I’m a major fan of Pageflakes, because it’s a great way to organize updates and RSS feeds. As I mentioned before, I’m a very visual learner and thus makig BAAGZ one of my favorite applications.

The application allows me to manage and organize my web content in a very personal and aesthetically pleasing way. The agenda of the program is to be able to:

BAAGZ is designed to allow you to discover content on the Web and organize it through customized, visual bookmarks. More important, BAAGZ fosters a collaborative environment where you can connect with others on the Web who share similar interests – whether it be hobbies, travel, music or news –and enhance this content with new ideas, in effect contributing to the expansion of the Web.

The application came out Fall 2007 from the French Web and enterprise search company Exalead has worked from Private Beta to Public Beta over the year. (newsleak.infotoday.com) It claims to be ‘the first service to bring together semantic search and social networking in a powerful, yet simple, consumer-friendly experience.’ This is another social networking site made for people and ran by people. I personally use it as a private tool because the user base is small. Like Pageflakes, I am able to make things public of private. The search bar is what makes it unique and available to bookmark easily through one click.

What makes it different from other applications is that you can place your favorite Youtube videos and play it on one of your bags. It’s easy to organize your interests like News, Fitness and Art. Another favorite part of the application is that every time I copy a link into a bag, it takes a screen capture of the website.
