RIP – SpringPad has announced the final discontinuation of the service by 25 June 2014. Another good idea passed at the cemetery of web apps2. SpringPad, which was a mix of Pinterest and Evernote, had a lot to do with unavoidable giants.
SpringPad is an online service that allows you to create visual notebooks of online resources.
SpringPad looks a lot like the Pinterest Network We've been talking a lot about it for a few months. This service allows you to pin your online finds and resources into virtual notebooks. Bookmarking, curation, SpringPad adapts to your needs for school or leisure.
In SpringPad you organize your bookmarks, notes and files into custom notebooks. You can create as many as you like. Every notebook far be public or private. Real more of this tool to gather resources simply, its Collaborative work functions. You can offer a group of students or people to collaborate on a notebook. Everyone will then be able to add own resources or comment on the contributions of others.
SpringPad is very easy to use from a bookmarklet to be installed on your preferred browser. The result is particularly elegant and visually successful. Springpad works on your computer but also on your iPhone or Android as well as your iPad.
In the classroom.
SpringPad can be used by a group of students to create a digital portfolio of research work. The tool can also be a great resource for collaborative work between a teacher and students. One example among others is the creation of a notebook on books read by students in the class.
Springpd is a free tool. You can test it here on the web.

Hello,
Springpad is indeed very interesting and has many assets.
Even if it has collaborative functions and a great ease of capturing extracts or web pages via a simple right click, it lacks an ESSENTIAL function to allow real SIMPLE collaborative work:
i.e. the possibility to choose the notebook in which you want to save your note or url…
It is possible to do this via the "Web Clipper" (an extension to install) but it is not very SIMPLE and practical…
On the other hand, when you use the right click to "capture" a page or note, (which is VERY SIMPLE) there is no possibility to choose the notebook in which to save this note or url…
Chiant because this forces you to go to springpad and transferred the saved note to the … shared notebook
I am still looking for the ideal curation tool:
Function 1: allows you to capture pages or pieces of page on the internet easily and send them to a "curation book" of my choice and this during the capture (a bit like scoop or evernote) (this book can therefore be "personal" or "shared"
Function 2: Shares ‘curation books’ with others so that they can feed those shared curation books as easily as I do
Function 3: that these curation logs generate an RSS feed in order to be able to subscribe to this feed and thus be informed of new additions to this curation log
I'm a taker of all the 😉 tracks.
Thank you for your blogs that I am with great interest!
