Plum is a free online service that lets you collect and share all of the cool and important stuff in your digital life

What Company Is Offering:
Plum is a free online service that lets you collect and share all of the cool, interesting, and important stuff in your digital life. They started Plum because they think that collecting and sharing on the web is really fun and useful — but much too difficult to do.

When you find a great article in a magazine or newspaper, you might cut it out and save it — file it somewhere special, pass it along to a friend, or post it on the fridge. But what do you do when you come across an interesting web page that you want to save and share? What about Word documents and PDFs on your computer? Or photos and videos from sites like Flickr and YouTube?

Browser bookmarks are handy but can't be shared. Blogs and wikis are social but time-consuming to maintain. Email is convenient but in-boxes get cluttered up quickly — and it's a real pain to go back and find stuff later.

How It Works:

Plum is our attempt at providing a better way to collect and share the things you care about. They want Plum to be a complement to all the services you already use — Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Flickr, even desktop programs like Microsoft Office and iTunes. You can grab just about anything from the web or your computer, organize it quickly and easily, annotate it, and share it with others (if you so please).

Plum is currently in an invite-only private beta period. We've done lots of work over the past few months to make Plum what it is today, but we're always eager for your input and feedback. Do you like it? Does it work?
