Pete recently got in touch with us to share a cool tip – In conjunction with Vlingo, he is able to save tasks and events directly to Springpad using only his voice through Springpad’s email in feature. Pretty cool!

Pete has been using Springpad for more than a year and a half. He uses the Springpad Chrome app, Chrome extension and the mobile apps for multiple devices. Pete also shares one account with his wife and his son to help organize household activities.
(Note: more sophisticated collaboration features are on their way!)

Springpad RSS feeds are a great way to view your Springpad data outside of the app, with tools like Google Reader and Feedly. But RSS feeds can also be used to display some of your things publicly for others to see.

Some Ideas for using RSS Feed Widgets to display your Springpad Data

Springpad is a great way to capture things you want to remember, including bookmarks you want to read later. We hear from lots of our users that they like to have a folder called ‘Read Later’ to save those bookmarks. But if you’re having trouble remembering to actually check that folder every night, try using the Springpad ‘Send to Phone’ feature!

Here’s how…

When you’re surfing the web & come across a great article that you want to remember to read later, use the Springpad Browser extension (for Firefox or Chrome) to clip the article.

Then, right from the extension, hit ‘Send to Phone’ to receive a push notification on all of your Springpad-enabled devices (learn more about how to control where you receive Springpad notifications).

Now you can save notes, tasks or any other type of information simply by sending an email to Springpad.  Saving by email also gives you a simple way to save things from your mobile phone. So, the next time you find something you want to save while surfing the web from your phone, just send the link to Springpad.  We’ll do the rest! (watch a video)
