Bundlr: Organize Your Web. THE GIST: Bundlr is a curation tool for organizing and communicating information about an idea.
Whether you need to organize clips from around the web for a research paper, or you want to gather real-time news sources to share about the riots in Greece, Bundlr helps you store the information in one place. Instead of storing text-based links to sources that you want to remember, Bundlr keeps the links in their original media format. The multimedia “bundles” can then be shared with the public, or you can keep them private to share only with selected collaborators. Although there are already many startups in the curation space, Bundlr stands out because of its real-time collaboration features.
