As the web grows, our bookmarks and favorites grow with it. The enormity of bookmarks can become overwhelming, not just in volume but in managing them as well. Pistashio is a sort of online bookmarking site that helps you manage and organize your favorites while saving them in the cloud.

The web capturing service is slightly different than traditional online bookmarking services. Pistashio encourages organization right from the get go by probing users for additional details about their bookmark or Stash as they call them. Additional details can be anything and is a great way to quickly distinguish one item from another.

As users stash their favorites, Pistashio automatically saves the URL along with any additional details and location if pertinent. From there, stashes are sorted into 1 of 5 categories – Eat & Drink, Watch, Read, Listen and See & Do. Each category can be drilled down further for more precise saving. For instance, stashing a new restaurant website would most likely be filed under Eat & Drink and then under a Restaurants subcategory. Beyond standard stashing, Pistashio offers a Remind me Later feature and options to share your stashes socially through Twitter or Facebook. In our restaurant example, Pistashio could remind you when 2-for-1 specials are and tweet the information out to your followers.

Users can stash anything they find on the web and Pistashio provides a couple easy ways to do it. For Google Chrome users a browser extension is available or bookmarklet for all other browsers. We’d like to see an import feature on the list for future improvements, but otherwise this is a nice option to get your bookmarks and yourself organized.

We here at GeekITDown are firmly committed to providing our readers with quality cloud options. It’s the whole point of our Nifty Websites Collection. The growing competition between these online services means great variety and a wealth of choices for our readers. Skloog is another fine example of how competition in motion is working to offer choices in the cloud.

We’ve highlighted online bookmarking sites in the past and will continue to do so. It’s a convenient way to manage the plethora of websites without the worry of losing them to a faulty hard drive or trouble of transferring them between systems. Skloog is an online bookmarking tool that like others gathers everything you love about the web in one unified place.

Skloog provides the ability to tag and categorize bookmarks which most of us in the tech field desperately need. Users will find the interface to be fairly informative with category names, number of favorites, visibility setting and buttons to delete or edit bookmarks quickly. Visibility is a nice feature, allowing for bookmarks to be either publicly viewable or privately stored for ‘your eyes only‘.

The feature that really makes Skloog an attractive choice is its use of images to display bookmarks. Users are drawn towards visual information on the web and Skloog takes full advantage of that by listing bookmarks with a distinguishable affiliated image. Typically a logo is used which makes finding a bookmark incredibly easy for users. A feature that we always look for in an online bookmarking site is import of existing browser bookmarks. Skloog handles imports from Delicious, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari. Currently there is no export function, but their support section implies the feature is in the works.
