Create A Dashboard OfYour Favorite Links –Faveous

As a tech blogger I read a lot of
stuff related to technology,
thanks to Google Reader and
Instapaper, these two tools
makes me productive and
organized. There are a bunch of
tools to save links for later
viewing, Read It Later,
Instapaper and many more.
Faveous is a new webapp similar
to Instapaper but with a
different approach, here are it’s
features.
Features Of Faveous
You can add links from various
sources to Faveous, namely
YouTube (liked videos), Twitter
(shared links,favorites),
Facebook (your posts), Google
Reader (your starred/liked items)
and many more.
To organize the posts, you can
tag or filter or even favorite
them.
The search feature is pretty neat
and results are relevant too.
By default your Faveous page is
public with a customized URL, if
you want you can make the
page private.
Faveous also provides a RSS feed
of your links, just click on the RSS
icon on the right of search bar.
Initially, the RSS feed is partial
but you can make it into a full
feed using Full Text RSS Feed.
You can also share the posts
from Faveous to Facebook and
Twitter.
They also provide a bookmarklet
and a few browser extensions
(Chrome/Firefox) which you can
get from their Tools page.
Pros and Cons
Pros: As I said, Faveous can
retrieve your favorited tweets
from your twitter account, once
it has retrieved them you can tell
it to automatically un-favorite
them. If you were using
Instapaper previously, you can
import your Instapaper archives
to Faveous.
Cons: Instapaper transforms all
the saved links into readable
(plain text) format while Faveous
still doesn’t have this feature.
Faveous is pretty slow when it
comes to retrieving the content
from selected sources.
Getting The Invitation
Faveous is in private beta and
you can’t sign up unless and
until you get a invite code. To
get the invitation, all you need to
do is, tweet about the site using
the Pay with a Tweet app (you
need to sign in to your Twitter
account and authorize it) on the
invitations page.
Faveous definitely needs some
polishing but it is worth keeping
an eye on it. Try it out today.
