About Furl…
Furl is a free service that saves the important items you find on the Web and enables you to quickly find them again. Furl archives a personal copy of every page you save. When you want to recall it, you can find it instantly by searching the full text your archived items. Each member has a personal archive of 5 gigabytes (GB), large enough to store tens of thousands of searchable items.
Furl recommends new Web pages that may interest you, guided by the sites you’ve already “Furled,” or saved.
Furl also offers the best ways to share the content you find on the Web. Send a daily email newsletter of links to friends and colleagues, use Furl to generate RSS feeds for your links, or integrate them quickly and easily into an existing Web site.
Furl was founded in the spring of 2003 by Mike Giles, and is part of the LookSmart family

not so great
this is part of the new wave of “social networking”..started of with orkut and friendster(or the other way round if you like it)..continued with flickr…now there is this new wave of social bookmarking…
i tried all the 3 services..furl,del.icio.us(thats the url too) and curl (i think)..furl does provide the service of caching the page…that helps greatly..if you find some page you like then you can bookmark it and read it even after it becomes paid(like a nytimes article)..trouble is furl will not be free for ever..a recent article in fortune evaluated the 3 services and said google is looking at del.icio.us for buying it and the founder of furl said he plans to go paid in some time …good things cost rule of life
