With Spurl.net you will never have to lose a good link again. You can search your links, notes and in fact the entire text of all the pages you’ve ever "spurled".

- makes it easy to include a list of "Things I’ve come across" on your blog or web site.
- and much, much more.
The Spurl bar
What is the "Spurl bar"?
The Spurl bar is a sidebar that sits in your browser and allows quick access to your spurls from right within the browser window. You can quickly hide and reopen the Spurl bar in order to make the most of your browsing experience.
The spurl bar works with Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla browsers (Firefox, Netscape, ...). If you do not have the Spurl bar installed, go to Settings/Setup and follow the instructions for your browser type.
How does the Spurl bar work?
The Spurl bar is actually a simple web page that sits in a sidebar frame within your browser. To open the Spurl bar, click the Spurl bar button. In Internet Explorer, the button shows a picture of a browser window and is located in the ’Navigation bar’ (next to the back and home buttons):
In other browsers it is located in the ’Personal bar’ (Opera) or the ’Personal toolbar folder’ (Firefox).
If you can’t find it, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
The spurl bar has five tabs that provide quick acces to the core functions of Spurl.net:
- My most used: This tab contains three lists providing quick access to the pages you’re most likely to want, namely your all-time most used pages, the pages you’ve most recently visited through Spurl and your most recently spurled pages.
- My spurls: This tab shows a tree-view of all your spurl categories and the pages within them. You can open the folders by clicking the plus sign next to the folder icon and thereby browser to the page you’re looking for.
- Recom(mendations): This tab shows the pages Spurl.net recommends to you based on the pages that you have already spurled.
- Hot now: This tab lists pages that have been spurled recently by the most users, thereby giving an indication of what’s "hot" in the Spurl community.
- Just in: This list shows the pages most recently spurled by the users of Spurl.net
Clicking the info icon in front of a link in any of the Spurl bar lists will open a page with details on that page and access to several different actions you can perform on the link.
