pssst. it’s hush-hush.

so, i was invited by a brilliant young guy, to test out his new software and website, that is still very hush-hush. i’d tell you what it is, but i’d have to kill you. well, not kill you, but you know — it’s still heavily under wraps. very soon though, i’ll be giving away some subscriptions to sfgirlbybay readers, so you can test this website out, too!

i’d like a black entry table, via die frau im haus.

but for now, suffice it to say, i am loving it, and it’s great for sourcing and bookmarking to an online gallery, all my very own. instead of just bookmarking web pages as favorites (which i constantly forget about!), this is a visual bookmarking tool, so that the images i like are all right there in my galleries, categorized any way i like.

a dramatic bedroom, via aubrey road.

for instance categorized by, blog ideas, photography i love, books, and resources and inspiration for my new home — all right there for me to peruse, any time i like. and, when i click on the images i’ve saved, they link back to their originals ource on the web, so it’s simple to credit the original source, or link back to shop online. you can also follow other members’ collections, and add their favorites to your own. i love it! here’s a little of what i’ve been stashing away to inspire my new decor. stayed tuned for more about this great new site and a giveaway for subscriptions!

    I’ve started using wishpot, and it’s made a huge difference to me…but this sounds great, I’m definitely interested!

    Could brilliant young guy help my unwieldy cattledogging? I’m in!

    oh. my. god. are you kidding me????

    i have been hanging on to my google notebook (which i love dearly) until today, when firefox warned me that i’d better upgrade soon, or else! i would absolutely love to see what this new secret project is. seriously, the timing of this could not be better. thank you!!!

    can’t wait to find out about this!!!

  6. Posted April 1, 2010 at 11:43 am | Permalink

    oh this sounds exciting!

  7. Posted April 1, 2010 at 11:50 am | Permalink

    i’d love to volunteer!!!

    tell us more, tell us more!

    I want to know! This website/software sounds quite brilliant. I’d love to try it out. Maybe I’d finally be able to give up my OneNote organization system (hard to do when you’re on a Mac).

  9. Posted April 1, 2010 at 12:00 pm | Permalink

    It does sound intriguing.
    I’m always looking for organising gadgetry.

  10. Posted April 1, 2010 at 12:02 pm | Permalink

    i will be able to share, soon! they are still testing and tweaking so it works perfectly, but i love it so far!

  11. Posted April 1, 2010 at 12:17 pm | Permalink

    I can’t wait! It sounds like a good way to do a visual look book. The closest I’ve gotten is evernote and it’s just ok.

    one by one white dreams :))

    Sounds like a great project! I’m bad about bookmarking things and then never going back to look at them, although it’s nice to be able to have that as a resource if I need it. I like the idea of being able to organize your inspiration images into categories too. Sounds exciting!

    Oh, I’m very interested in something that could actually organize favorite sites. I’ve struggled with various systems and been disappointed.

    Love the sharpness of black/white. I had a Czech artist friend and his bedroom was: a white bed, a small white rug, bare windows, and maybe a bedside table. Nothing else. It was very soothing, yet utterly impossible.

    I have clip amnesia. I can never remember what I saw or when I saw it. Can’t wait to try this tool!

  16. Posted April 1, 2010 at 1:29 pm | Permalink

    Sounds very intriguing!
    I’ve been using Evernote with some success but I’d love to hear about alternatives. Do tell soon! :D

    That little “hush hush” secret sounds like a dream come true. Can’t wait to find out more info. Love you!

    hoo boy i need something like this. organization and clicking directly to source. awesome.

  19. Posted April 1, 2010 at 2:24 pm | Permalink

    this sounds billiant. i have hundreds of bookmarked pages that are such a mess. i can’t wait to find out what this is!

  20. Posted April 1, 2010 at 2:27 pm | Permalink

    This sounds great, I can’t wait to find out more! I currently use image Spark http://www.imgspark.com/ for this, and it works pretty well for me, but I’m always interested to see if another tool will be more effective!

  21. Posted April 1, 2010 at 2:57 pm | Permalink

    i need it. i want it.

  22. Posted April 1, 2010 at 4:09 pm | Permalink

    Wow. Being totally visual, something that does all this sounds pretty much perfect for someone like me. Looking forward to hearing more …

    :-)

    Beautiful post! Can’t wait to hear more about the software! Sounds incredible!

  24. Posted April 1, 2010 at 4:14 pm | Permalink

    Ooh! Love this concept since this is the way my artist’s brain works. Would be perfect for organizing my various inspirations.

  25. Posted April 1, 2010 at 5:17 pm | Permalink

    I love the paint job on the Eames chair. I didn’t actually recognize the shape initially but was drawn to the print. The horizontal wooden slats in first photo is great.

  26. Posted April 1, 2010 at 5:24 pm | Permalink

    Far out! Sounds like the perfect tool!!!

    I’m in a bother at the moment with a fried PC, an inane gormless PC tech that took my hard drive away and said ‘i’ll see if i can anything on it’, (and still hasn’t gotten back to me 5 days later). No ggogle faves, no images on my hard drive, NO MUSIC on the laptop. ARRGGHHH currently in a techno version of hell!

    Going PC shopping this weekend. Will be v. interested to hear about this cool little trial you’ve been doing!

    i have such a tedious method of copying photos into Picasa albums for home, style, etc and including the blog post link in the comments section. Lets just say i never have enough time to do it all, let alone USE the inspiration becuase I’m too busy categorizing! i would LOVE to try this.

    Ooo sounds exciting! I’ve been needing something like that. Also, I love the picture of the ikea lamp!

    This sounds like Jeteye, which is a browser plug-in. I wonder what this program is like… how similar and different they are. Have you ever used Jeteye?

  40. Posted April 3, 2010 at 7:45 pm | Permalink

    this software sounds perfect for design blogging. something visual would be so helpful. please keep us posted.
