If you ask us, we’d say everyone; especially when such applications as PortalPanel are a lot more than just online bookmarking tools. In fact, bookmarking is easy and doesn’t really require much of an app. On the other hand, organizing bookmarks in a personalized way so they can actually be re-discovered and retrieved from anywhere, anytime… that’s a different story.

When was the last time you stumbled upon an interesting website, found a homepage of a restaurant that you may want to check out in the near future or had your attention captured by an article which may not be appropriate for sharing on Facebook, but you would like to read it sometime soon, in your privacy? Two weeks ago, three days ago, yesterday?

And what happened to that website or the article? Most likely, you got distracted by something else on the web and forgot about it right away. You may, however, bookmarked it using your browsers built-in bookmarking tool and blissfully forgot about it as well. Why is so? I would bet my money on the fact that you, our dear reader, have tens, if not hundreds of bookmarks saved in your browser and you have no idea what they are about or how to find the right one. I’m sure there are a lot less messy cars zipping through the streets of Chicago than there are messy bookmark sections owned by the good citizens of the same City of Big Shoulders. (Believe me, there are a lot of messy cars in the Second City.)

Suffice it to say that built-in bookmarking tools are not visual enough, not accessible enough, simply not ORGANIZED enough to provide the service of organizing your bookmarks.

So, yes, anyone who is an avid consumer of content online (meaning almost anyone, if we believe the study claiming that adults in the U.S. spend an average of 7.2 hours per week discovering content) needs a robust online bookmarking tool that can also double as a perfect home page.

But if you asked us for more specifics, here at PortalPanel we believe that certain professionals would find a tool like ours even more essential to their day-to-day activities than others. Graphic artists, web designers, writers and journalists, students, researchers, salespeople, librarians… Essentially, anyone whose work involves consuming large quantities of information, searching for it online, performing analysis and sharing the results with their clients, peers, and the rest of the world.

Are you one of them? We know time is money, but we do encourage you to spare some change, create your account and see if PortalPanel is for you. The account itself is, of course, free. Also, don't forget to leave your suggestions and feedback. Happy browsing!
