You can see them now - the brand new organizing tools. As most of our users know, when the knowledge grows, the number of bookmarks and articles grow too and the "Flood" may come any minute  Users with more than 500 bits of knowledge know that feeling  And since we provide the best service, we will give you the solution.

One natural solution is categorizing and grouping in folders. You already know this and probably you use it. Now, the new stuff - Workspace, Highlight and Archive. What are these?

I guess you have seen the changes from the last days. As you know, sharing knowledge is one of the most important goals we want to achieve. And now we are one step further achieving it.

From now on you can share not only single bookmarks and articles but folders and even the whole shared user's profile. This gives you the unique possibility to create public profile with knowledge categories and share them separately thus creating an unique knowledge blog.

Do you care about your health? Do you care about what you eat? Are you interested in fitness, diets, organic foods, close to nature life, alternative medicine and homeopathy, natual products, nutirion and nutrition add-ons, etc. ?

You find such an information in blogs, Internet pages and other totally unexpected places. How about if you can keep it in one place? Wouldn't it be perfect to have your own health knowledge base? And even more - create your own articles and share all that with your friends.

You already have the possibility to add bookmarks for bits of knowledge that interest you. You have the possibility to add your own content. What is the next logical step? You are interested in something and the next you would like is to share it with your friends. From this moment on, you already can do that. You can define any bookmark or article for private use or for sharing with friends.

Probably most of you have made the conclusion that balastra is just a site where you can store your favorite links. Yes, you can do that but the main goal is totally different - to make it a platform for storing all your personal knowledge and be able to share it with your friends afterwards. Whether it will be a bookmark, a file, a picture gallery, a document, an article or any kind of digital content, you will be able to store it and group it in the way that best suits you. No more predefined categories, you have full control.

Do you think balastra (gravel) is boring? Do you think it's rubbish? Check this out!

Do you like it too? Books, articles, blogs, even newspapers and magazines - all representations of combined words with meaning. And the Internet is the absolute treasury containing billions of them. As you all know, some of them are really very precious. Even more, most of the biggest libraries together with top IT companies like Microsoft and Google declared their will to digitize all the books and put them on the Internet. Of course, maybe not all will be free but still, you will have the chance to read sometimes absolute archive texts to which you do not have access anyway.

As you can see, a lot of changes were made to the site in the last months. Our main concern is to make it nice, handy and useful. Eventually, all of these :) I would like to bring to your attention just the four major changes in that direction.

There is a completely new blog (blog.balastra.com). From there you can catch up with the latest news and more importantly - get new ideas of how to use the site. Additionally, you can comment on the articles and share them with your friends which you are greatly encouraged to do :)

Do you want to keep all your interesting cooking recipes at one place? You find them in blogs, Internet pages and other totally unexpected places. Wouldn't it be perfect to have your own cooking recipe book matching best your taste?

You can already do that. And more, you can create your own recipes and store them for private use or for sharing with friends. Even more, you can add pictures with your cooking achievements.

We all travel - sometimes for real, sometimes only in Internet. As we travel we collect memories - real, virtual - memories that we want to keep just for us - memories that we want to keep at one place.

We can provide you such an instrument that can help you do that - to keep the links to your memories. Memories that are scattered everywhere in the Internet.
