Webbla - For People Who Remember Websites By Their Appearance

By Ricky Buchanan • November 13, 2008

The Finder, iTunes, and iPhoto all now let you browse through your materially visually if you wish, instead of looking at lines of text. The address book program Espy is a third party utility we reviewed that does the same for address book entries, and now we have Webbla which does the same for web page bookmarks:

If you like to handle your music and photos with iTunes and iPhoto, Webbla is the right application to handle your bookmarks.

Webbla is an application for Mac OS X Leopard that helps you in organizing your bookmarks visually. It also offers you an easy way to keep track of website updates.

Instead of remembering your bookmarks by title, Webbla gives you a new way to remember them visually. Personalizing your bookmarks with tags or keeping them in different categories will help you to come back to them easily.

As well as OS X’s standard Safari browser, Webbla will import bookmarks from Firefox, OmniWeb, Camino, Opera, and other browsers. Webbla also integrates with OS X’s Spotlight and Quick Look functions.
