Spurl- Do You Have A ‘Special URL’? Then This Is The Site For You

Do you like this post?

Here is another site which boasts of a rather unique name. Spurl stands for ‘Special URL’. This pretty much sums up what the website is all about. It is a place to store all your special URL’s. Further, it is a place where the popularity of all the links stored is determined on the basis of the number of users who have visited the site within a fixed time span.

Spurl offers all the advantages that websites like delicious and netvouz and delicious. However, it does not stop there. There are some features that are found only in Spurl.

For starters, this website is one of the few social bookmarking web sites on the World Wide Web which allows you to import your bookmarks from all major web browser software applications. There are some sites which permit you to upload bookmarks from Internet Explorer only. Other sites tend to give special treatment to the users of Mozilla Firefox. However, if you use Spurl, you can upload bookmarks from IE, Firefox and Safari without any problems whatsoever.

Further, this website permits you to choose which bookmarks you want to upload. Rather than dumping all your bookmarks in one upload, you can be choosy about the bookmarks that you want to share with your friends on the World Wide Web. This simple and obvious requirement has been ignored by many leading sites but is found in Spurl.

These and other features caused Paul Flyer to say “Spurl has become my favorite social bookmarking service….”

You can organize your bookmarks and create cross indexed references to ensure they can be found without any difficulty. You can place your bookmarks in a suitable folder and create as many tags as you want. More the number of tags, easier will it be for any surfer to locate your favorite link on the web.

You can keep track of the latest links added to this website by checking the ‘Just In’ category. If you have IE or Firefox, you can have a spurl bar integrated to your web browser. This will enable you to keep track of the latest spurls every time you go online. The spurl bar can best be described as a spurl mini site which brings you all the information you need right into your web browser.

Just as other social bookmarking websites, this website too enables its members to add links to their accounts by just clicking a button integrated to the web browser. There is no need to perform complicated maneuvers just to add links.

Finally, there are two features that make ‘Spurl’ totally unique amongst all sites on the web. One- you do not need an email address to register on the site. This is a completely unique feature and enables all those who do not wish to disclose their email id to any new site to make use of social bookmarking.

Two- you can integrate your spurl account with your delicious account. Once this is done, anything added to the former will automatically added to the latter account as well. There is no doubt that a combined account of two social bookmarking sites is always better than one.
