Review: Filamentality

http://www.kn.sbc.com/cgi-bin/fil3.pl Filamentality

I really have to learn to be less excited when I find great new tools, but I get excited at the hardware store too, so...
Filamentality is an AT&T site that lets you create your own categorized lists of URLs in a Hotlist. And yes, it is a Web site which gives you a URL site that hosts your list. And it puts them in the categories of your choice. How can anyone NOT be excited by this?? It's very easy to do, and a sample site I put together within minutes can be viewed at: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listadultedjs.html

However, since having all the cool tools means I can also use them, you can see the same hotlist address at:
http://tinyurl.com/2rfvhm because the Tiny URL site was able to reduce the 56 characters to 25. I may need oxygen...

Also, you can use this site to create and host Webquest for your students. As if the Hotlist was not enough.
