JetEye - Bookmark management
Build collections of super-powered bookmarks (we call them JetpaksTM) to save and share your best web searches. Whether planning a date night or researching the 2008 presidential election Jeteye lets you quickly and easily build collections of web resources on any topic. More powerful than bookmarks, specifically tailored for use with web-enabled cell phones, each Jetpak has a permanent address (aka its “URL”) that you can access anytime, anywhere, through any browser-enabled device (computer, laptop, iPhone, blackberry). You (or a friend) can create Jetpaks and send super-powered links to your cell phone. If you leave your Jetpaks "public", then the community can use your Jetpaks and, over time, we can all help make the web a little easier to navigate. For confidential information we suggest you lock your Jetpaks by making them "private".
