What is Weblist?
Weblist is an innovative way of gathering and organizing your content on the internet. We all love lists and we love sharing our lists with others. Why spend hours tediously adding and sending links and files when you can do it all in one place using a single URL?

How does it work?
With Weblist, you can create lists composed of different item types. You may add multiple URLs, files, videos, documents and more. Each list has its own title and description and gets its own URL. To share your list, you simply need to use one single URL, saving you time and effort. Once your list is ready you can save it as a bookmark or as a customizable homepage. You can share it with your friends via email, using the top social networks or by posting it on your blog.

What else can I do with Weblist?
In addition, you can browse through the different categories and find public lists on different subjects. Looking for a good music site? Now you simply need to visit the music category to view different lists of music sites recommended by other users. You can find lists on subjects ranging from the arts, business, hobbies, health, games, travel, technology and much more. One of the best things about Weblist is that it is continually updated as users add and update their list, creating a dynamic and interactive content community.

Is this free?
Weblist is a free service. You don't even need to create an account in order to use it, but if you want to edit your lists you should register. Every list you create as a logged in user will be saved under your account and you can always go back and edit or remove items for your list. Coming soon: We will soon be adding a Firefox add-on, a user voting list, site widgets, and much more... so stay tuned.
