Let’s take a look at both Convertbot and Amount, the first an all-time favorite conversion app from developers Tapbots, and the other a promising recent entry to the App Store....

When I’m browsing, I want to spend the most time possible with the content I want, so in my opinion, the best bookmarking services are those that take the least amount of clicks to use and that get out of the way fast. This is exactly what Dragdis provides. In fact, this fairly new bookmarking service takes a very fresh and original approach to the way we bookmark stuff. Let’s take a better look at Dragdis and what makes it such a great bookmarking alternative....

So I thought, if the feeling is what I’m after, I can easily recreate the effect right on my MacBook and it wouldn’t even be that hard....
