Other information and tips about Backflip

  • The Making your folders public feature could be used to create a resource page for a project or other assignment. You can make a single folder or your entire list of bookmarks public.
  • The Daily Routine feature allows you to set up a list of sites you visit on a regular basis in a specific order. Good if you wake up and read the paper, check the weather, check the stocks, etc. every morning.
  • PC users have some more tool options, click on the Get Tools link to find out more.
  • The My New Pages tab will bring you to the last 10-50 pages you added. It will also let you refile them all at the same time (instead of one at a time in the folders).
  • Aren't you ready to do backflips already?
