SpringPad a Notebook for everything else

It seems every online websites or bookmarking is scrambling to take in Delicious refugee.
The latest I've been using is ZooTool and Springpad, I have to say these two are looking really good and they have a dedicated guide for importing bookmarks for Delicious users.

So far I am liking ZooTool on the bookmarking capability, but not so much on their lack of native mobile apps. Which on the other hand Springpad has on both iPad/iPhone platform, but I am having trouble getting all of the apps syncing the same thing at the same time.

But still, there is a lot you can do with Springpad, it is not only a bookmarking service. You can jot down your calendar, notes, recipes, restaurants, things you like
It is your notepad on the go, so you can jot down whatever you have in mind at the time and save it on your iPhone or iPad. It also sync back to your web browser version, has great private and public sharing settings. You can also send your note via email, pretty much like Posterous does.  They don't seem to have a bookmark extension add-ons for Firefox at the moment, but they do have it for Chrome web browser platform; hopefully they'll add Firefox soon.

I can see this is going to be a great service or tool to have, testing it out now and will let you know further feedback soon.

URL Shortener

I love it when everything gets simple and easy to remember, especially on web address. I mean wouldn't you hate it when you see that long URL address. I often use a combination between Bit.ly (but sometimes it's blocked in China, so far it's back and you can use it smoothly), as well as Ow.ly (up until China started busting down several Twitter service sites like Hoot Suite.

So far Google URL Shortener is quite promising, probably due to the fact they have multiple server location. Either Goo.gl or Bit.Ly performance are pretty competitive from global perspective, coming to China is a different story (hopefully Google has stabilize China relationship).
