Diigo
This application (pronounced dee-go) is a "social bookmarking tool," and it is an excellent web tool for saving bookmarks and making them accessible across devices. Great for organizing a bibliography or sharing a customized list of resources with a classmate or colleague.
Not just for recipes and craft ideas--Pinterest is like Diigo in that it allows users to create "boards" or lists of websites and resources which can be accessed across devices or shared with a colleague
