Guide: Kippt: The Best Bookmarking System for Professionals
Thanks to information overload we see web applications (en mobile apps) are jumping on the scene. All in an effort to help us manage the bookmark-worthy pages we come across on the web, but we may have to put off reading for later. Kippt is a newcomer already dominated by similar read-it-later services such as Instapaper and Pocket (formerly Read It Later). We had Delicious before and still have it around. Each service promises to ‘do it better’, and they give us slightly different flavors of the same as they compete for our bookmarks and social shares. So, how different is this Helsinki-based startup doing? Let’s cut a few bookmarks and find out.
The Kippt method
Sign-up with Facebook, Twitter or email and jump in. Kippt gives you browser extensions (for Chrome, Firefox and Opera) and bookmarklet as tools to ‘cut’ links you like on the web. You can also use email to add links or manually add them to your Kippt account. I’ll start here with the Chrome extension for the purposes of this article. The next step is simple … use the Kippt icon to bookmark a page you like and save it in your Kippt account. Here’s what the Kippt tool looks like when you start the bookmarks process:
Here the Kippt way is a bit different from other apps like Pocket, which are more tag-based. Kippt allows you to create lists that are more like folders. You can create it from the interface shown above or go straight to your Kippt account and do it from there. You can also mark an article for later reading by clicking the little ‘book’ icon. The article is saved in the Read Later list on Kippt. In the screen below I have made three new lists for Work, Career and Finance.
What else can you do with your saved links
Kippt is more like a traditional bookmarks folder when it comes to organizing all of your links. Lists act like folders and you can just as easily drag a link from one list to another. Once the bookmark is in your inbox or one of the lists, you can do quite a bit with it. You can open it in Kippt’s own reading mode to read it, mark it as a favorite, or share it on Twitter or Facebook with a shortened URL.
Most importantly, Kippt allows you to work seamlessly with services such as Pocket, Instapaper and Readability. You can submit your articles with a click of one buttonYou can also import from these sites. To further strengthen this interoperability, Kippt gives you the option of creating an RSS feed of your saved articles as well, in case you want to bring everything to your feed reader. Kippt has no devotee mobile apps yet, but it should be there soon. In the meantime, you can save your mobile browser to their HTML5 service for mobile appliances. So what do you think so far? Does this interoperability of all bookmarking systems sound exactly what you are looking for? Try Kippt and let us know.
