One-click Visual Access and Sharing of Your Favorite Sites

I recently wrote about Apptism, a Firefox extension that presents a visual of thumbnails of your favorite websites to speed up your daily browsing habits. It follows on the heels of Chrome and it's popular feature of showing thumbnails of your most visited sites. There's a new player in the game in Tizmos. This site has much of the same functionality, displaying thumbnails of your chosen sites. But there is an interesting feature.

After signing up for an account, you can choose to make your page public. Then, if you share the link www.tizmos.com/yourusername, others will be able to see your collection of chosen sites. This might be an interesting way to keep your followers up-to-date about new and interesting sites you've found, or a link to include in a newsletter about some great new resources for your audience. After all, visual is almost always better.
