Springpad was a free online application and web service that allowed its registered users to save, organize and share collected ideas and information.
As users added content to their Springpad accounts, the application automatically identified and categorized it, then generated additional snippets based on the types of objects added—for example, listing price comparisons for products and showtimes for movies.
[5] The company then allowed users to export their data (as JSON and read-only HTML formats), or to automatically migrate it to Evernote accounts before the expiration date.
In addition to the smartphone app and site, Springpad could be used via browser extension for Google Chrome, or the Springpad Clipper,[7] a bookmarklet to analyze webpages and clip relevant information from them—for example, the ingredients needed for a recipe—or to add the site as a normal bookmark.
With most of the content added to a user's "My Stuff", relevant news, useful links and other helpful information could be viewed.
