Mashbord puts your favorite links into a customizable dashboard that you can actually use.
Nowadays are tons of bookmarking sites out there already and we love them. The problem is, they don't really do exactly what we need them to. So we made a better one. We needed structure, not a bewildering list of tags; and we needed a superfast way to visually recognize a bookmark and go there. Mashbord is this solution.
Because mashbord is task-oriented, it′s more than just a bookmark site, it′s a productivity tool. Just create a mashbord for a specific task and then add only those bookmarks that make sense. Your additions display as thumbnails, not just text. This lets you visually scan what you′re looking for and go to it... quickly.
Features :
Create your very own, customized mashbord.
Create a Mashbord just for cooking websites and recipe resources. Or create an online shopping-related Mashbord with bins for electronics, clothes, and music. Create a Mashbord for all your most used websites so you're always a click away from what you need.
Access your mashbords anywhere.
Mashbord is always available, as long as you have an internet connection and a browser.
Make Mashbord your homepage
Everyone has a bunch of sites they ALWAYS access. Stuff like Webmail, Twitter, Facebook, the bank, you name it. You can set up your Mashbord with "Social Media," "Personal Finance," or even "Favorite Blogs" bins. By making Mashbord your private "Mashup Dashboard" you'll have direct visual access to all your favorites in one place.

Svbtle is a curated, invite-only collection of great people who have things to say.
It’s a new kind of publishing network that brings some of the best things from newspapers and magazines to a network of great people. We focus on the people, the writing, and the ideas. Everything else is secondary.
Our goal is to make it easier and more natural for interesting people to write down their thoughts. In the process, we also hope to help our members become better writers. To accomplish these goals, we provide benefits that aren’t usually associated with blogging, like copyediting and fact-checking, to all members, for free.

Medium is designed to allow people to choose the level of contribution they prefer. We know that most people, most of the time, will simply read and view content—and that’s great. If they choose, they can recommend* content to others, giving feedback to the creator and increasing the likelihood others will see it.
Posting on Medium (not yet open to everyone) is elegant and easy, and you can do so without the burden of becoming a “blogger” or worrying about the arduous task of developing an audience. All posts are organized into “collections,” which are defined by a theme. (For example, this post is in the ‘About Medium’ collection.)
Eventually, anyone will be able to create a collection about anything, and collections can be invite only (like this one) or open to contributions from anyone. For example, here’s an open collection of crazy stories. Posts can also be “cross-posted” to multiple collections, which gives more opportunity for discovery and building one idea off of another.
Collections give people context and structure to articulate their ideas.
Together, the contributions of many add up to create compelling and useful experiences.
*There is a ‘Recommend’ button at the bottom of every post. Clicking this button is one of the signals that contributes to the algorithm which determines the order of recommended posts within a collection. We will also use this to provide feedback to the author.

  Now webdoc is Urturn  

Expressions
Flick through the ready-made Expressions and choose the one that fits your mood.
Your turn
The Urturn button is the magic switch that enables you to try out an Expression for yourself!
           

Webdoc enables you to mix the web to create interactive posts on-the-fly and start rich social conversations.Webdoc lets you create, share and discover rich interactive posts and engage spontaneously with friends or audience around your interests, passions, events and promotion - when a status update just isn’t enough to tell your story and you don’t want to start a blog.
Enabling people to express themselves in a richer, more interactive way than traditional social networks, Webdoc is the next evolution of online communication. Webdoc users can start expressive conversations quickly and easily by pulling in rich content — video, audio, photos, and more — from across the web, as well as unique Webdoc Apps, to create instant shareable pages around their passions and interests.
Reduce the digital gap between school life and everyday life. Leverage the wealth of web content in learner interactions. Because each webdoc can be conversation about a subject, the teaching activity is at the center of your student interaction.
Webdocs can be very public or shared securely between just a few people. Each webdoc remains yours; you keep full control of its access and content, expanding your lesson beyond the classroom door.
How can webdoc support your teaching
Collaboratively create content . With webdoc, your students become educational content creators. Engage them to search collaboratively for information to build their own curriculum and content that is not only more creative, but up to date. Mashup, build, produce and share! Not only are your students learning, they are engaging in the learning process with video, sound, text, maps, and much more.
Publish and extend a classroom lesson and let students exchange their understanding and ideas about the subject. They participate using rich media that they created or found online: links, drawings, videos, images, texts, and so on. They can even include polls about the subject!
Student homework
Enable learners to work on and submit their homework in one-to-one private webdocs shared with you, using rich media. This helps prepare them for life: learning to use online content well is becoming a key skill.Follow the working methods and progress of each student. Trace the evolution of your learners.
Enrich your Facebook and Twitter posts
Enhance your existing social presence by posting rich content on webdoc and sharing it with your communities.
A post becomes a rich discussion room as others reply - a persistent room on a specific subject!
Social activities, school and families
Share with families and friends a rich web collage that shows pictures, videos, maps, and songs created collaboratively by the classroom. A webdoc can bring a new dimension to sporting events, school productions and extra-curricular activities, … If you like this new social media tool and if you know other tools like this please leave a comment
