Save the pages you see in Kaboodle [updated]

There are dozens of ways to track or grab odd web pages that you want to remember ... but Kaboodle might be the first one I actually use for more than a few days. It's dead easy: you just install a link that says "Add To Kaboodle" on your links bar, and click it when you're at a page you want to remember. You then get taken to Kaboodle, which lets you add a tag (eg Google, as in my example below) and rate or comment on the site, before it returns you to where you were. The next time you want to remember a site, you can add it to your current list (in this case, Google) or start a new one (cookery, or whatever). You can keep lists private or publish them so other people can use the links, or vote on sites.

There's a step-by-step guide here.

The choice of name may be a bit unfortunate -- this is not the first Kaboodle -- but it's the sort of site that could make a lot of ordinary users happy.

Update: As Andy Simons has pointed out in a comment, there's a very similar beta service at http://wists.com. Om Malik has some interesting comments about their use for shopping in The Whole Kit & Kaboodle.
